In the familiar compact housing, the main components have been completely renewed. This includes a newly calculated lens and a new processor to handle the larger amounts of data for the new sensor.

The new 24 MP APS-C CMOS sensor is the standout feature. It is mounted on a movable base, providing the foundation for a 3-axis image stabilization system, which also enables the new sensor cleaning function, Dust Removal II. With these innovations, a new level of quality for images and operation is achieved.

Additionally, the Ricoh GR III offers proven features. Specifically, the film simulation presets, which allow photographers to use various filters during shooting, provide many creative possibilities. In total, 12 film simulation presets are available, including Black and White, Monochrome (in various effects), Positive Film, Portrait, Vivid, and Bright, with 2 of them being customizable.

Moreover, more than 12 image options are offered, such as film grain or various contrast settings. The reliable macro mode, now with a minimum focusing distance of 6 mm, as well as the digital focal lengths of 35 mm or 50 mm significantly expand the capabilities of this compact reportage camera. There will also be accessories available for the new Ricoh GR III, such as an external viewfinder or filter adapter with a lens hood.
