Ricoh GR Digital Review at Digit.no
DIWA member and Norwegian website Digit.no have reviewed the Ricoh GR Digital, an 8 megapixel compact digicam based on the GR Series of 35mm compact film cameras.
“The GR Digital is a digital version of the analogue prestige model Ricoh GR1, launched some 10 years ago. Built on the same robust and light-weight magnesium chassis, a fixed focal length equivalent to 28 mm wide angle, and numerous manual controls, the GR Digital is a most interesting camera for the connoisseur. The digital part, with 8.3 MP image resolution and a 2.5” LCD screen, adds the features required in a modern high-end camera. The GR Digital delivers outstanding image quality at low ISO speeds, but suffers from fairly high image noise at higher sensitivities. The lack of optical viewfinder and optical zoom, insufficient buffer memory, slow DNG storage speed, and mediocre battery capacity are the main disadvantages of the Ricoh GR Digital.”
