Ricoh GR IIIx Urban Edition Digital Camera

Inspired by street photographers who are in their element on the asphalt pavement, the RICOH GR IIIx “Urban Edition” features a metallic gray body that has a unique texture. It’s smooth but enables excellent grip, a combination of design and functionality. The blue lens ring cap complements the metallic gray color. This camera also debuts several new functions, including Snap Distance Priority mode and Auto Area AF (Center) focus mode.

The GR IIIx Urban Edition includes the GR IIIx camera in the special metallic gray body finish and a blue lens ring cap. The RICOH GR IIIx is designed to further enhance the essential values of the GR-series: optimizing image quality, snapshot capabilities and portability.

The newly designed 26.1mm GR lens provides a 40mm standard angle of view in the 35mm format, close to the photographer’s own effective field of view, and delivering images with a more truthful sense of depth for a completely different type of street photography.

It also provides a range of new and upgraded post-shooting functions to edit captured images to the photographer’s preference.

• Snap Distance Priority
  Newly added Snap Distance Priority in Exposure mode. By selecting the snap shooting distance and DOF in advance, just by selecting this mode you can instantly recall this setting. When the DOF 3 is selected, the aperture is set to nearly pan focus so you can release the shutter right away.
   
• Auto-Area AF (Center)
  Newly added Auto-area AF (Center) in Focus mode. Auto-area AF works around the center of the frame (9 areas) instead of the entire frame. This prevents the camera from focusing on unintended areas such as the ground in front of you, allowing you more control of your street snaps.
   
• The 26.1mm GR Lens Achieves Sharp Imaging with High Resolution and High Contrast
  The GR lens has been imbued with our unique optical technology that aims to always provide high image quality. The GR III uses a slim optical system consisting of 6 elements 4 groups with a focal length of 18.3 mm (approx. 28 mm in 35 mm equivalent focal length) and aperture of F2.8. The GR IIIx uses a newly developed optical system consisting of 7 elements 5 groups with a new focal length of 26.1 mm (approx. 40 mm in 35 mm equivalent focal length). High-refractive index low-dispersion glass lenses and aspherical high-precision molded glass lenses are optimally placed in the lens construction according to each model’s optical system to suppress optical distortion and chromatic aberration to the absolute limit, delivering a high level of sharpness. This results in images that are sharp and clear across the entire frame even from the full aperture setting.
   
• The Detailed Descriptive Power of the 24.2 M Large APS-C Format Image Sensor
  GR IIIx is equipped with a high-resolution, wide dynamic range APS-C format CMOS image sensor (approx. 24.24 effective megapixels). High resolution sensor which can handle a large size print and an anti-aliasing (AA) filterless construction that utilizes the characteristics of the high-resolution lens for high-definition detail reproduction. Both the image sensor and lens are also optimized for the best possible image quality.
   
• Advanced Image Processing and Responsiveness. Meet the Latest GR ENGINE 6
  The imaging processor on GR IIIx is the latest GR ENGINE 6. It elevates the essential high image quality performance of the GR for a greater level of detail. Faster processing makes the combination of high resolution sensor and multi-tone 14-bit RAW possible. This also contributes to improved responsiveness and functionality for autofocus and movie.
   
• Shooting at ISO 102400 is Possible with Uur Original Signal Processing Technology
  A high-performance processor "Accelerator Unit" is adopted on GR IIIx 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.
   
• 3-axis, 4-step Shake Reduction for High Image Quality Across a Wide Shooting Range
  Camera shake is reduced for crisp images even when taking split-second snapshots. Shake Reduction(SR) is installed while making the body size of GR IIIx compact. It minimizes the shake on three axes, including yaw, pitch and roll. Compensation effects deliver as many as 4 steps of shutter speed.
