A high-performance processor "Accelerator Unit" has been adopted on this model as a powerful way to support high image quality. The signal output by the image sensor is sent to the image processor after being optimally handled. This reduces noise, delivering superb resolution and color reproduction across the entire sensitivity range. It also makes it possible to shoot at ISO 102400. A new addition is a three-axis image stabilisation, that gives a four-stop improvement in the shutter speed you can get away with for handheld exposures. ISO has been boosted too to a maximum of 102,400 - which will help cement the camera's low-light credentials.

It's a shame there's no 4K video recording, although it could be argued that the target market for this compact camera would be perfectly happy with no video recording. And that's probably just as well, as the quality of video recording isn't particularly impressive, with footage not as natural-looking or pleasing to the eye as we'd expect. Customize Setting] --- Two types of [Electronic Level Design] were added to [Display Customization].One area where the Ricoh GR III falls short is video. There's no 4K recording, and the quality of Full HD footage just isn't up to the standard of that even from cheaper cameras. Fine details are often affected by artifacts and the camera's focusing system isn't the best here, although rolling shutter isn't too bad.

Now I’m a manual exposure kind of shooter. But there are times when AE would come in handy. Partly cloudy days when the light is changing rapidly and unpredictably. Or if I’m in and out of buildings. There’s rarely time to meter the scene without missing the shot! My second most commonly used feature is the touch-screen shutter release. Now, this might be a very widespread function among cameras but since my Leica M does not have a touch screen it is new for me. And apparently, this is also new for a lot of Ricoh GR users as this function is only available in the latest firmware version. So if you have, for some reason, not updated yet, you should really go for it. Overall, the Ricoh GR III is a camera that brings some significant gains over its GR II predecessor, and it's always welcome to be able to achieve this standard of image quality from such a tiny camera. While we're not so impressed by the battery life, so-so autofocus system, video quality or results at the very highest ISO settings, its design, fast operation and reliable image quality make it a powerful option nonetheless. Not convinced? Try these Shake Reduction and Dust Removal are two technologies that have been inherited from Pentax's cameras, which have been under the Ricoh umbrella for some time now, and on the GR III these are joined by other Pentax technologies such as Peripheral Illumination Correction to combat vignetting, and D-Range Correction to better balance shadows and highlights. When the camera's power is turned off, the camera displays a shutdown screen consisting of the specially designed product logo and a street-view image that symbolizes the camera's "street snapshot" concept.

Introduction

Approximately 24.24 effective megapixels deliver high image quality, and an anti-aliasing filterless construction delivers high-definition rendering even in the finest details.
