Ricoh GR III Street Edition Compact Camera with New Texture, and Accessories

Ricoh Imaging has introduced a special limited edition of Ricoh GR III Street Edition compact camera with 24.2MP APS-C CMOS sensor and GR Engine 6, which also includes exclusive accessories such as a custom external viewfinder, ring cap, and hand strap.

New GR III Street Edition has a unique surface texture, which is achieved by a multi-layer spray process that provides a smooth-but-non-slippery feel. It has a striking yellow-orange accent color ring cap on the external viewfinder, and leather hand strap. A shutdown screen featuring a specially designed product logo and a street-view image that symbolizes the camera’s “street snapshot” concept.

Additionally, the Ricoh GR III Street Edition also includes the Full Press Snap feature, which lets you instantly shift the focus point of the lens to a preselected position when the shutter release button is fully pressed. This function can also be assigned to the rear LCD, where you simply tap the touch screen to quickly change focus and ignore the standard AF process, to help intuitively capture fleeting moments.

Price and availability

The Ricoh GR III Street Edition Special Limited Kit has been priced at $1,199.95 and is now available to pre-order at the Bhphotovideo.com online store and will be available in mid-July 2020.
