Ricoh GR review – The competition
Apart from the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX1 with its 24-million-pixel full-frame sensor, the real competition for the Ricoh GR will come from the Fujifilm X100S and Nikon Coolpix A. These cameras each have a 16-million-pixel, APS-C-sized sensor, which is the same as that in the GR. The Nikon Coolpix A also has the same 18.5mm lens as the GR, while the X100S has a slightly longer 23.5mm f/2 lens, which some photographers may prefer.
While it may be hard to separate the Nikon Coolpix A and the Ricoh GR, the Fujifilm X100S has one clear difference – it incorporates a hybrid optical/electronic viewfinder, which is seen by many as the main attraction. Given that the specification of the Ricoh GR and the Nikon Coolpix A are very close, the GR may be the preferred by many.
