Camera Overview — Ricoh Urban Edition

The Ricoh GR III Urban Edition is a point-and-shoot compact camera built around a 24MP APS-C sensor paired with Ricoh's GR Engine 6 image processor. At just 257g and measuring 109.4 × 61.9 × 33.2 mm, it's designed to slip into a pocket without sacrificing imaging capability. The ISO range runs from 100 to 102400, giving shooters substantial flexibility across different lighting conditions.

Image stabilization is handled by a sensor-shift system, helping to minimize motion blur during handheld shooting. The camera features a fixed lens mount, making it a purpose-built, all-in-one imaging tool rather than an interchangeable-lens system. On the back, a 3.0-inch TFT LCD touchscreen with 1,040,000 dots of resolution provides a responsive interface, supporting Touch AF for intuitive focus selection.

The autofocus system combines Hybrid AF with Touch AF for flexible subject acquisition. Burst shooting reaches 4 fps, and video tops out at 1080p with frame rate options of 24fps, 30fps, and 60fps. Connectivity is well covered with built-in Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and USB.

Storage uses SD, SDHC, and SDXC cards. The DB-110 battery is rated for approximately 200 shots per charge, which is a consideration for extended shooting sessions.
