Ricoh launches RICOH GR III high-end, compact digital camera
Newest model in the popular RICOH GR series delivers exceptional image quality in a smaller, lightweight body, making it ideal for street photography
WEST CALDWELL, NJ, February 21, 2019 – Ricoh Imaging Americas Corporation today announced the launch of the highly anticipated RICOH GR III camera. The new camera is the latest model in the RICOH GR series, a lineup of high-end digital cameras providing exceptional image quality in a compact, lightweight body ideal for street photography, travel and capturing candid images.
The RICOH GR III features a newly designed lens, image sensor and imaging engine that further upgrade image quality, enhance functionality and improve usability. The 18.3mm F2.8 lens delivers exceptional imaging performance with a slim design, consisting of six optical elements in four groups, while retaining the 28mm angle of view. It produces the clearest, sharpest images in GR-series history while reducing distortion and chromatic aberration. It also comes equipped with a macro shooting capability with a minimum focusing distance of six centimeters.
In keeping with the GR-series concept of packaging high image quality in a compact design, the RICOH GR III camera body is smaller than its predecessor, and is equipped with a large APS-C-size CMOS image sensor with approximately 24.24 effective megapixels to produce high-resolution images. Its short start-up time of approximately 0.8 seconds allows for quick, responsive shooting. The camera’s high-definition LCD monitor features touchscreen operation, offering intuitive control of various camera functions right on the screen.
The camera also features a high-speed hybrid autofocus system, built-in shake reduction, in- camera image finishing options, USB Type-CTM, Bluetooth and wireless LAN connectivity options. An accessory wide-angle conversion lens designed exclusively for use with the RICOH GR III is also available. The GW-4 Wide Conversion Lens expands the angle of view to 21mm ultra-wide angle.
“The Ricoh GR III is the ultimate street camera,” said William Hereford, a Brooklyn-based pro photographer, who has been shooting with GR series cameras for years. “The image quality and ease of use are equally amazing. I literally don’t leave my house without this camera. The GR III fits perfectly both in my hand and my pocket, so it is always available to capture a moment.”
Hereford says that the image quality is so great, that photos taken with his GR cameras have the potential to be used in national ad campaigns and magazine articles.
Designed to be the ultimate street photography camera, the RICOH GR III is a totally new breed of GR camera that will give the user new and different creative possibilities.

1. Ricoh GR official page and Website Confirmation
Take a look at the press text at Ricoh GR official webpage
It has been two and a half years since we finished “GR BLOG” that lasted ten years.
In the meantime, I was encouraged by the warm cheers of the fans and the wonderful photos.
It is embarrassing to speak too loudly, too, but I feel ashamed of GR, but GR has been a day to further strengthen the thought of being a tool to enjoy and nurture along with people who like photographs from now on .
In 2018, we are preparing for the new website “GR official” as a very important thing to work on for the first time to restart GR. (Scheduled to start in April) Prior to that, I started official Facebook on GR today.
It is the same as the era of GR BLOG, handmade and fumbling while starting.
I believe in the power of the content, I want to gradually step by step, so that the blank for two and a half years was rather a good charging period.
I would be happy if you could follow a lot of people.
~ A bit good thing with CP + ~
From today Integrated Camera Picture Show CP + will begin.
I will post a poster announcing the opening of GR official Facebook within the Ricoh booth, so please show my smartphone screen to the staff “Following Facebook”.
I will present a newly made GR sticker. (As the number is limited, it ends as soon as it is lost)
We are waiting for you at the Ricoh booth!
PHOTO “GR” APHER ~ GR is always in a person who loves photos ~
