We are already familiar with the Ricoh GR III and GR IIIx – two compact cameras that have made a name for themselves for their compactness suitable for street photography and high image quality with their APS-C sensor.

These two models have now been updated with two new versions following the addition of HDF – Highlight Diffusion Filter. The built-in filter function provides enhanced highlights and an overall softer contrast across the image, reminiscent of a cinematic expression with dreamlike effects.

The cameras have also received a grey-silver coloured shutter button, something Ricoh justifies with the symbolism of the change that has also occurred in the visual expression. The Fn button has also been changed to activate the HDF function. The cameras Ricoh GR III HDF and GR IIIx HDF are otherwise the same as previous models.

The Ricoh GR III HDF and GR IIIx HDF will start shipping in April 2024. The recommended retail price for the GR III HDF is SEK 14,290 including VAT, and for the GR IIIx HDF SEK 14,990 including VAT.

Ricoh GR III now officially launched – we have the details

All specifications, price, and delivery time have now been released for Ricoh's new performance camera.

Ricoh GR IIIx – classic gets a longer focal length

The Ricoh GR has been around for a long time and has been updated in stages, this time the verdict has fallen on the old lens and image processor which have been replaced. The lens has also been given a longer focal length to provide a more natural look in the images.
