Ricoh to debut highly anticipated RICOH GR III high-end digital compact camera at Photokina 2018
Currently under development, the RICOH GR III features a newly designed lens, image sensor and imaging engine that further upgrade image quality, enhance functionality and improve the user interface.
For more than 20 years, the RICOH GR series has kept to its core concept of optimizing the essential values of a camera— high image quality, snapshot capability and portability — while at the same time making the refinements needed to meet emerging and evolving needs. Because of this, GR-series models have been preferred by a great many photographers, particularly professionals and highly experienced amateurs.
Designed to be the ultimate street photography camera, the RICOH GR III is a totally new breed of GR camera that will give the user new and different creative possibilities.

The RICOH GR III will be available in early 2019 at www.ricohimaging.com and retail outlets nationwide.
