Still GReat: Ricoh GR II studio scene and real-world samples
 |
| The Ricoh GR II and a predecessor from the days of film – the Ricoh GR1 |
The Ricoh GR II is a modest update to the well-regarded Ricoh GR, as well an evolution of a beloved film camera, the Ricoh GR1. In this version, the high-quality formula remains: an 18.3mm (28mm equiv.) F2.8 lens in a compact body with a 16MP CMOS APS-C sensor inside. While the update doesn't bring any image quality changes, it does offer a chance to run the new camera through our studio test scene, as it will be an obvious competitor to the Fujifilm X70 when it arrives. Take a look at how it holds up against other 16MP compacts, and see how the street-friendly camera performs out-and-about.
