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, delivering images with a more truthful sense of depth for a completely different type of street photography. Depending on the way the lens is used, this versatile angle of view can create different image renditions: capture an image similar to those taken at a 30mm semi-wide angle or create a completely different visual expression as if taken at a 50mm standard angle. The large 24.24 effective megapixels APS-C-size CMOS image sensor and latest GR ENGINE 6 imaging engine optimize its image resolving power. It’s equipped with a high-speed hybrid autofocus system, built-in shake reduction, and provides a range of new and upgraded post-shooting functions to edit captured images in-body to the photographer’s preference. Its short start-up time of approximately 0.8 seconds allows for quick, responsive shooting, while the high-definition LCD monitor features touchscreen operation and intuitive control of camera functions right on the screen. The RICOH GR IIIx is designed to further enhance the essential values of the GR-series: optimizing image quality, snapshot capabilities, and portability.

High-Resolution GR Lens

The newly designed 26.1mm GR lens provides a 40mm standard angle of view in the 35mm format, delivering images with a more natural perspective and a more truthful sense of depth for a completely different type of street photography. High-refractive index low-dispersion glass lenses and aspherical high-precision molded glass lenses are optimally placed in the lens construction to suppress optical distortion and chromatic aberration to the absolute limit, delivering a high level of sharpness.

High-Quality, High-Resolution Images

The approximately 24.24 effective megapixels APS-C size image sensor delivers high image quality, and an antialiasing filterless construction delivers high-definition rendering even in the finest details. The latest GR ENGINE 6 elevates the essential high image quality performance of the GR IIIx for a greater level of detail.

Hybrid AF System

The hybrid AF system combines a contrast-type AF mechanism superior in focusing precision with a phase-detection-type AF mechanism, assuring high-speed focusing operation. During autofocus shooting, this AF system detects the subject’s face or eye with precision, focuses on it, and indicates the in-focus position on the LCD display using the AF frame. When the camera detects multiple faces, it automatically distinguishes the main subject from secondary ones and indicates this on the focus frame.

RICOH-original SR Mechanism

Shake Reduction (SR) minimizes camera shake on three axes, including yaw, pitch, and roll and provides up to 4 shutter steps* of compensation to produce crisp sharp images even when taking split-second snapshots or capturing images with challenging low-light conditions.

Compact Lightweight Design

The GR IIIx is designed to be extremely compact, functional, and portable. The exterior frame is made of highly rigid magnesium alloy to improve dependability and durability while being carried or stored. It provides a host of user-friendly features — including a short start-up time of approximately 0.8 seconds, control dials conveniently positioned next to the four-way controller, and effortless touch-screen operation — to enhance operability and allow the user to swiftly react to once-in-a-lifetime shutter opportunities.

High-Definition LCD Monitor

The 3.0-inch high-definition LCD monitor with touch-screen operation provides swift, intuitive control of various camera functions, such as AF frame shift, menu selection, and image advance/magnification during playback. It's air gapless construction effectively reduces the reflection and dispersion of light for improved visibility.
