I believe that like the Canon G10, the Ricoh GRI, GRII and GRII series of cameras are professional tools with great potential. So I will be collecting from wherever I can practical details on the new compact camera, emphasizing features of interest to pros. I try to give sources where I can and to format the text in a readable way.
The GRIII is no longer a rumor!
This may compete favorably with the G10 as the camera that must go with you always! Ricoh has a good reputation for fine lenses and hopefully the new f1.9 lens in the GIII lives up to this expectation.
Photorumors.com Is this essentially the same body but for the new f1.9 lens?
I am too tired to wait till 2 am, the official Ricoh release time for this, so please forgive me jumping the gun!
The ever-evolving Ricoh digital has improved, not in MP count, it still comes in with 10 MP, it however has an improved CCD, a new 28mm f 1.9 lens and a freshly minted image processing engine, "RNGINE III proves to give sharper image with more details even in high ISO as well as keeping amazingly crispy and brilliant result in low ISO range too".
The failure to join a pointless MP race and focus on improving the imaqing experience and customization, bodes well fro this camera and the Ricoh brand.
4 am L.A. time for the Ricoh website will have more info. So after that time go here for the official details.
Congrats! Waiting to get my hands on one!
