NEW YORK--()--B&H Photo would like to share the announcement of the Ricoh GR III, WG-6, and G900 compact digital cameras. The GRIII adds an updated lens, sensor, and touchscreen operation to the GR line of compact cameras. Now including a 24.2MP APS-C CMOS sensor, the GR III provides improved tonality and image rendering compared to the GR II. Redesigned optics consisting of 6 elements in 4 groups (2 aspherical elements) yield a more compact design while maintaining its 18.3mm (35mm-equivalent of 28mm) f/2.8 format. Shake Reduction and Dust Removal features keep image capture sharp and free of pesky dust. The new GR Engine 6 and updated image algorithms produce greater contrast and detail in imagery. To increase usability, control key layout has been redesigned from scratch and its 3" Touch LCD Screen offers flexibility and simplicity to users. Photographers wanting more shooting options can attach the GW-4 Wide Conversion Lens via the GA-1 Lens Adapter to modify the lens by 0.75x.
