Description — Ricoh GR Digital II
The Ricoh GR Digital II is a point-and-shoot compact camera built around a 10MP 1/1.8-inch sensor driven by the GR ENGINE II image processor. Its magnesium alloy chassis with plastic shell keeps the body strong while maintaining a weight of just 168g and dimensions of 107 x 58 x 25 mm — small enough to slip into a jacket pocket with ease. Photographers have manual control options alongside contrast detection autofocus using a single center focus point, as well as a manual focus mode.
The ISO range spans 80 to 1600, and still images can be captured at a maximum resolution of 3648 x 2736 with color profiles including sRGB, Adobe RGB, Black & White, Color Bracket, and Double Tone. Burst shooting is available at up to 2fps. For flash, the camera combines a built-in pop-up flash with a standard ISO hot shoe for external units.
The 2.7-inch, 230,000-dot TFT LCD handles both framing and image review. Storage works across SD, SDHC, and internal storage. Video records at up to 480p at 30fps in 8-bit Standard color.
The DB-60 lithium-ion battery delivers approximately 370 shots per charge under CIPA conditions.
