## Description

Features of RICOH GR IIIx Urban Edition ＊Inspired by street photographers who are in their element on the asphalt pavement,the metallic gray body has a unique texture created through repeated and complex painting processes. It’s smooth but enables excellent grip, a combination of design and functionality. ＊The navy blue ring cap is specially designed to evoke the impression of an azure sky reflected in a puddle after a rain,or neon lights of a city that never sleeps and their reflections. ＊When the power is turned off, the Urban Edition features a special power-off graphic with a street-like background and special logo. ＊Various new functions have been added, 1. A new exposure mode, “Snap Distance Priority Mode” has been added. By setting the snapshot distance and depth of field (DOF) in advance, you can instantly recall the setting. DOF3, in particular, sets the f-stop so that the depth of field is close to pan-focus, allowing you to enjoy faster shooting. 2. “Auto-area AF (Center)” has been added to the the Focus. Auto-area AF works around the center of the frame (9 areas) instead of the entire frame. This prevents the camera from focusing on unintended areas such as the ground in front of you, allowing you more control of your street snaps. 3. “Enable AF” has been added to the Shutter Button Setting. It is now possible, when the shutter button is pressed halfway, only the AF is locked without locking the AE. 4. “3.5m” has been added to the Snap Focus Distance. 5. Long tapping on the playback screen can now recall the Playback Settings.

Review: Fell In Love with Photography All Over Again - I recently got into mobile photography, but I was never impressed with the processed hdr look from iPhones and Samsung S series phones which looked too unnatural for me. So I decided to pick this little guy up. If you are really into street photography, this is the perfect camera. It’s super small (about the side of a iPhone 13 mini in footprint) and produces beautiful raws. It’s so pocketable, I take it everywhere I go. The raw files are a pleasure to work with. They are like a combination of Sony ARWs and Canon CR2s. Being a Sony shooter and previous Canon shooter, I really appreciate the Canon like raw colors straight out of the camera and the Sony like dynamic range flexibility for editing. I am so happy I took a chance on this camera over trying to find an extremely hard to find X100v. 10/10 recommended as an everyday camera! Also a little tl;dr pro con list to end up my review! Pros: - super pocketable size - solid magnesium body - solid JPG files and amazing DNG raws - IBIS is very effective - easy to use interface (Sony please do better lol) - APSC sensor size in a point n shoot size camera!!! Cons: - many accesories to buy. System get expensive quick. - slow autofocus, but snap focus seems to work well (just need to learn how to use it) - no 4K video - small battery
Review: Great image quality in a super small form factor. - I purchased this camera specifically for long trip that I wanted to pack light for. The image quality is great and the DNG images work very well in light room. I got a few extra 3rd party batteries, but i rarely used them... battery life is pretty good if you just turn the camera on and off as needed. I set up one of the top dial presets to use "tap to shoot" so I could easily hand the camera over to anybody without having to worry about complex settings... works just like a phone. The only thing I missed having on this camera is a screen that tilts up for low shooting. I thought I might sell this after the trip, but have decided its a keeper.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: This camera is weather sealed?**
A: It is not. I have only had mine about 1 month and I have been trying to be very careful with it. It has also been mentioned that dust can get inside fairly easy. So I have been turning the camera off the minute I am done shooting and I bought the protection plan from Asurion which I have never done before. Still, I absolutely love this camera!

**Q: Does this come with the black lens ring in case you don't want to use the navy blue one?**
A: Yes

**Q: Does this urban edition of gr iiix come with special wrist strap? the one with blue lether on it?**
A: No
