New Ricoh GR III camera report by Mobile01 (no plans for a full-frame Ricoh GR camera)
Mobile01 published their “hands-on” report of the upcoming Ricoh GR III camera that includes also an interview with Noguchi Hiroshi (general manager of the Smart Vision Business Division, Camera Division, and Product Planning Department). Here are some interesting points from the interview:
- Ricoh can put a full frame sensor in the GR and make it about the same size as the GR III, but there will be some compromises, such as the quality of the lens. Ricoh thinks APS-C is the most balanced choice.
- Rioch never considered a curved sensor for the GR III.
- No plans for a full frame GR camera for now.
- The GRIII was developed about a year and a half to two years ago.
