Abstract: The GR Digital III is the third model in a successful series of feature-rich digicams for enthusiasts, based on the popular Ricoh GR-series of 35mm film cameras launched in 1996. Acclaimed for their slim, well-designed bodies and functionality, these c...
This camera, in its various forms, has attracted a loyal customer base. Image quality is reliably good. Ricoh is not in the pixel wars, favouring better image quality over pixel numbers. Ricoh compacts have gained a reputation for responsiveness. We ...

Abstract: $1,299, available end of this monthThe original Ricoh GR was released in 2013 with an APS-C image sensor. At that time, not many fixed-lens compact cameras came with such a big image sensor. With its size and 28mm wide-angle fixed lens, it quickly garne...
Compacité et légèreté, Ergonomie épurée, Excellente optique, Capteur APS-C, Démarrage rapide
Vidéo catastrophique, Autofocus parfois capricieux, Jpeg trop mous, Menus peu ergonomiques, Pas de tropicalisation, Autonomie limitée, Pas de viseur, Pas d'écran orientable
S'il est un appareil intéressant par sa compacité, sa prise en main et la qualité de ses images — que l'on fera plus volontiers en Raw —, le Ricoh GR III n'apporte malheureusement pas les évolutions spectaculaires auxquelles nous nous attendions. Son prin...
Vous voulez un compact pas trop cher et polyvalent pour faire des photos de famille et de vacances ? Allez voir ailleurs, le GRD III n'est pas pour vous. Vous êtes un photographe averti voir pro, vous avez besoin d'un compact grand-angle de 2...
Ergonomie impressionnante, Personnalisations poussées, Prise de vue instantanée (AF facultatif), Écran VGA fin et fluide, Qualité d'image et ouverture
Pas de zoom, Austérité générale, Automatismes restreints, Pas de vidéo HD ni de stéréo
Le Ricoh GR Digital III est dans la droite ligne de ses prédécesseurs : un bloc-notes accompagnant le photographe expert lorsqu'il ne peut s'encombrer d'un reflex. Rapide, qualitatif, il n'est en revanche guère accessible au simple quidam et s'avère bi...
Abstract: Les fabricants de compacts experts se comptent sur les doigts d'une seule main : Canon avec le PowerShot G10, Sigma avec la gamme DP, Panasonic avec le LX3 et Ricoh avec la fameuse série GR Digital. Dans une gamme un peu à part (objectif interchangea...
