In the familiar compact housing, the main components have been completely renewed. This includes a new sensor, a newly calculated lens, and a new processor to handle the larger amounts of data.
The new 24 MP APS-C CMOS sensor is the standout feature. It is mounted on a movable base, providing the foundation for a 3-axis image stabilization system, which is also essential for the new sensor cleaning function, Dust Removal II. These innovations achieve a new level of quality in both image and operation.
Additionally, the Ricoh GR III offers proven features. Specifically, the film simulation presets, which allow for the use of various filters during shooting, provide many creative possibilities for photographers. In total, 12 film simulation presets are available, including Black and White, Monochrome (in various effects), Positive Film, Portrait, Vivid, and Bright, with 2 of them being customizable.
Moreover, more than 12 image options, such as film grain or various contrast settings, are offered. The reliable macro mode, now with a minimum focusing distance of 6 mm, as well as digital focal lengths of 35 mm or 50 mm, significantly expand the capabilities of this compact reportage camera. The new Ricoh GR III will also have accessories available, such as an external viewfinder or filter adapter with a lens hood.

Mit der X100VI ist Fujifilm ein großer Wurf gelungen. Als erste Kompaktkamera verdient sie sich unser Ausnahmeprädikat „Super", Das Retro-Bedienkonzept bleibt Geschmacksache. Da die Kamera auch eine „moderne" Bedienung zulässt, kommt eigentlich jeder auf seine Kosten. Bleibt der gehobene Preis von 1800 Euro...
Als Immer-dabei-Kamera hat die GR III viele Stärken: Sie ist handlich und leicht, ihr Bedienkonzept ist übersichtlich, und sie fotografiert mit guter Bildqualität. In Dunkelheit verhilft die kameraseitige Bildstabilisierung zu unverwackelten Aufnahmen. Schwächen sind das langsame AF-System, ein kleiner Akku und der hohe Preis.
Qualitativ spielt die Ricoh GR III in der Liga der kompakten Systemkameras. Dank 14bit-DNG-RAW lässt sich das Sensorpotenzial weitestgehend ausreizen. Aber auch die JPEGs hat Ricoh gut abgestimmt. Die Beschränkung auf die Festbrennweite ist systemimmanent. Dagegen stehen ein eingebauter Blitz, Sucher und Wetterfestigkeit auf unserer Wunschliste für eine GR IV...
