First Look: Pentax Ricoh GR<\/h2>\n

With a 16.2-million-pixel APS-C sensor, the new Pentax Ricoh GR camera is the latest in a number of premium compact cameras that use sensors we are more used to finding in a DSLR or compact system camera. The most obvious comparison to make is with the recent Nikon Coolpix A, which features a sensor with a similar specification and has an equally similar small magnesium-alloy body. However, the Pentax Ricoh GR is smaller, lighter and with a price of \u00a3599, it could offer some very strong competition.<\/p>\n

The new Ricoh GR is the smallest and lightest <\/em><\/div>\n
premium compact camera with an APS-C sensor to date<\/em>\n<\/div>\n

Legacy<\/h2>\n

Despite being a new camera, the Pentax Ricoh GR has a legacy going back to 1996, when the first Ricoh GR 35mm film compact camera was released. As one of the most highly prized compact cameras of its generation, the latest digital version has a lot to live up to. <\/p>\n

Of course, this isn’t the first Ricoh GR digital camera, which was the GR Digital (GR D) launched in 2005. The most recent in this line of cameras is the GR IV, which features a large compact camera sensor, which is still 9x smaller than the APS-C sensor in the new Pentax Ricoh GR. Such is the confidence in the new Pentax Ricoh GR that the GR IV is to be discontinued.<\/p>\n

Features<\/h2>\n

Besides the new 16.2-million-pixel APS-C sensor, the other most notable feature of the new camera is the 18.3mm GR f\/2.8 fixed lens. This is the equivalent of a 28mm lens on a full-frame sensor, with a large f\/2.8 aperture helping to create a shallow depth of field and helping to enable low-light shooting. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In fact, the lens has been designed specifically to complement the sensor of the GR D and it comprises seven elements, in five groups, with two aspherical lenses. It also features a 2EV neutral density filter to help use the lens at f\/2.8 in bright light. The combination of lens and sensor certainly looks impressive and we hope that it lives up to our expectations when we have a chance to fully test the camera.<\/p>\n

Improvements have also been made to image processing, with the new Pentax Ricoh GR featuring the new GR Engine 4 image-processing engine. Stephen Sanderson, Pentax Product Coordinator, said that the new processing helps to \u2018improve operating speed while reducing image noise’.<\/p>\n

When speaking to Sanderson, one key message that Pentax Ricoh was keen to get across is that the GR is all about getting the best image quality possible. With this in mind, the GR doesn’t have an anti-aliasing filter over its sensor. This filter slightly blurs detail, which in turn helps to reduce moir\u00e9 patterning, and by removing the filter images should be noticeably sharper. <\/p>\n

Those concerned with moir\u00e9 patterning will be pleased to hear the Pentax
\n Ricoh GR has Moir\u00e9 Pattern Removal software located in camera. This can
\n be turned on, off and increments of intensity manually adjusted. <\/p>\n

The processing system seemed to work well
\nin the test sample of the GR we used, with the 3in screen noticeably better
\nthan the screen of a GRD IV, which we had alongside the new camera. In fact, the screen looked bright, responsive and had a good level of contrast. The on-screen menus looked almost identical to the Ricoh GXR and GRD IV cameras, which should please those thinking of switching from those cameras to the new model.<\/p>\n

While it
\nwas difficult to fully test the AF system, my initial thoughts are that it
\nseems very responsive, although it did hunt a little for the AF point when close
\nfocusing. However, I will be able to comment in more detail when we have the chance
\nto give the camera a full test in the coming weeks.\u00a0<\/p>\n


\n
\n
\n
\n <\/p>\n

The Ricoh GR range has always been popular
\namong street photographers, and with this in mind the speed of the new Pentax
\nRicoh GR will be an important aspect for many. The camera has a reasonable
\nstart up time of 1sec, and a claimed 0.2sec AF speed, with 4fps continuous
\nshooting and a maximum shutter speed of 1\/4000sec. On paper, the
\nspecification should certainly put the Ricoh GR on par with the competition in this
\nmarket, which seems to be growing at a rapid rate.<\/p>\n

<\/img><\/div>\n

\nand 21mm equivalent wideangle lens adapter<\/em>\u00a0\u00a0 \n<\/p>\n

Sadly, there is no electronic viewfinder in the GR, although this has the benefit of helping to keep the price of the camera down. However, an optical viewfinder external viewfinder, the GV-1, that matches the 28mm equivalent focal length, will be available for around \u00a3220.<\/p>\n

Build and Handling<\/h2>\n

Aesthetically, the Pentax Ricoh GR looks almost identical to the outgoing GR IV, although the new camera is slightly larger in size. Measuring just 117x61x34.7mm, and with a weight of 215g, Pentax Ricoh proudly claims that the GR is the smallest, lightest and most affordable compact camera with an APS-C sensor, and its small size and light weight are obvious the second you pick up the camera.<\/p>\n

<\/img><\/div>\n

\u00a0
\nWith all the buttons placed along the right-hand side of the camera, it is possible to control the GR with one hand while shooting. In fact, there is an excellent level of control. The general button layout is similar to that found on the Ricoh GXR and the GRD IV, with a familiar digital camera layout based around a central control dial. There is plenty of customisation, too, with three function buttons on the back of the camera that allow easy access to regularly used settings of your choice. In the past, we have loved the control system of Ricoh cameras and the GR looks set to follow suit, with a menu packed full of different options and settings to truly make the camera perform as you want it to. <\/p>\n

Pentax Ricoh says it is committed to releasing regular firmware updates to the GR, and not just to resolve issues. Stephen Sanderson said, ‘If we can make the camera better with further features, we will’, which is a statement bound to be reassuring to those who purchase the camera.<\/p>\n

Cost<\/h2>\n

What is most impressive is the price of the camera. Due to go on sale in the middle of May, the Pentax Ricoh GR will cost just \u00a3599, which is significantly less than the Nikon Coolpix A and Fujifilm X100S, both of which cost just under \u00a31,000. If the image quality lives up to the promise, I would expect the Pentax Ricoh GR to shake up the premium compact camera market. <\/p>\n
