Some time ago we were informed about a new digital camera. In all these years since we have been around we have seen quite a number of cameras, and to be honest, most of them are not that exciting at all. Some models are developed just to function as a follow-up without any new features or improvements at all, just a new colour and a new name. Other models are claimed to be revolutionary, but seem to have been developed without any real inspiration or even passion. Today, we give you an exclusive preview of a digital camera that is developed from the heart and mind of a photographer, for a photographer… The Ricoh GR Digital is a camera that awakens old memories and reminds you of those days when film was the universal platform instead of a flash card. The sample we have used for our preview is not a final sample, although close to a full production model. Therefore some very minor things could change in the end. Enjoy reading the preview of Ricoh’s top model, a digital version of the well-known GR camera series Ricoh GR Digital.

Anyone who’s looked into buying a digital camera recently will have noticed that the biggest defining characteristic of the range of cameras on offer is conformity. Every manufacturer’s range is pretty much exactly like that of their competitors in terms of size, specification and price. In a market dominated by mid-range 3x zoom 6MP compacts, it’s a brave company indeed that breaks the mould and launches something completely original. However with the introduction of the GR Digital, Ricoh has done exactly that.

If you’re looking for an auto everything camera with a zillion hand-holding scene modes, big pretty icons and more wizards than a cauldron convention, this isn’t the camera for you.
If you’re after a camera with a ginormous zoom able to sweep in and capture the delicate fluttering of a wasp’s wings from 300 yards, move on.
Ricoh GR Digital Camera Review (90%) And if you like your cameras to look mean’n'lean with big shiny lenses, all-swivellin’, flip-out LCD screens with hi-tech add-ons like optical image stabilisation and bleeping bells’n'whistles, walk on by.
You want to zoom in to a scene? Well, get walking because there’s no zoom at all, only a fixed wideangle lens.
Need to take a picture in a complex lighting situation? Then come back when you’ve learnt some photography basics because there’s no dial-full of scene modes to fall back on.

Ricoh announced today the launch of the GR Digital, a newly developed professional-grade high-resolution compact digital camera. In addition to a CCD with 8,130,000 effective pixels, the new digital camera boasts superb resolution through a newly developed high-performance lens, image-processing algorithms, and other innovations, as well as low noise and low chromatic aberration.
The new GR Digital inherits the superb image quality that made the award winning GR Series (first launched in 1996) of 35mm compact film cameras so popular, as well as the depictive performance to satisfy professional photographers, distilled into a compact 25-mm thin body.
With a high-quality feel and superb expandability, this is the perfect tool for both professional photographers and advanced amateurs.
