Just Posted: Our review of the Ricoh GR, compared with the Nikon Coolpix A. We’ve already reviewed the conceptually similar Nikon Coolpix A and concluded that in some respects it was it out-gunned by the Ricoh, so what does that mean for the GR? We’ve delved into the Ricoh’s menus to get to grips with what it’s capable of and explored a range of its interesting features. Read our comparative review to see how it performs and what we concluded about the Ricoh.

It also retains the GRD IV’s high-res 1.2m dot LCD and a range of photographer friendly functions. Despite ta sensor nearly nine time as big, the recommend price increase by just $ 200 over the GRD IV, to $ 799.

Pentax Ricoh discontinues K-01 K-mount mirrorless camera

26 Feb

pentax_k01.png

Pentax Ricoh has moved its K-01 K-mount mirrorless camera to the ‘discontinued’ section of its website after just 12 months on the market. The unconventional-looking K-01 used a full-depth Pentax K lens mount but relied on contrast-detection AF, rather than the phase-detection systems for which all autofocus K-mount lenses have been primarily designed. Designed by Marc Newson, the K-01 was one of the most unusual-looking cameras we’ve ever tested. Click through for more details.

Ricoh exhibited a concept camera at CP+ that captures spherical panoramic images and sends them wirelessly to smartphone or tablet. Apparently produced mainly to gauge market reaction, Ricoh released no technical info on the camera apart from the fact that it uses two opposed 180-degree lenses whose images it combines into one spherical panorama. Users can zoom in on the image elements and swipe to look around the sphere; they can also zoom out to a circular image. The company imagines printing images on spheres as a potential product concept, and is considering video capture as well as stills.

Pentax Ricoh has announced its latest flagship DSLRs – the K-5 II and K-5IIs. The ‘s’ version, which costs $ 100 more, comes without an anti-aliasing filter, to offer higher resolution at the risk of more prominent moiré interference patterns. Both cameras feature 16MP sensors and the weather-sealed magnesium alloy build of the original K-5. The biggest difference is the latest, SAFOX X, autofocus sensor. This is designed to work in lower light than any of its rivals (down to -3EV) it will also provide greater accuracy when working with F2.8 and fast lenses. The K-5 II will be available from October at a cost of around $ 1350 with 18-55mm WR kit zoom. The K-5 IIs will be available, body-only for around $ 1300 – a $ 100 premium over the standard version.
