Camera Overview — Ricoh GR Digital 3

The Ricoh GR Digital 3 is a compact point-and-shoot camera built around a 10MP sensor housed in a 1/1.7-inch format. Designed for photographers who prioritize portability without sacrificing direct control, it fits into a slim body measuring 109 x 59 x 26 mm and weighing just 208g — genuinely pocketable for everyday carry. The camera features a high-resolution 3.0-inch TFT LCD display with an impressive 920,000-dot resolution, which was notably sharp for its class and makes reviewing images and navigating menus a clear, detailed experience.

Autofocus is handled via a contrast detection system. For capturing action or fleeting moments, the GR Digital 3 supports burst mode at up to 5 frames per second, and it delivers a maximum still resolution of 3648x2736 pixels. The ISO range runs from 64 to 1600, giving photographers a baseline for clean low-light performance within that window.

Storage is handled via SD and SDHC cards, and the camera includes a built-in flash for situations where supplemental light is needed. Connectivity includes USB, though there is no Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. Video is available at 480p at 30fps.

There is no image stabilization of any kind — optical, in-body, or digital — so shooters need to account for that when working in lower light or at slower shutter speeds.

Pocketable 208g Body: At 109 x 59 x 26 mm and 208g, the GR Digital 3 is compact enough for genuine everyday carry.

5fps Burst Mode: Continuous shooting at up to 5 frames per second helps capture fast-moving or unpredictable subjects.

ISO 64–1600 Range: A base ISO of 64 allows for clean, low-noise images in bright conditions with fine tonal gradation.
