Ricoh GR Digital Creative Camera Kit
| The GR Digital is a newly
developed professional-grade high-resolution compact digital camera. In
addition to a CCD with 8,130,000 effective pixels, the new digital camera
boasts superb resolution through a newly developed high-performance lens,
image-processing algorithms, and other innovations, as well as low noise
and low chromatic aberration.
The new GR Digital inherits the superb
image quality that made the award winning GR Series (first launched in
1996) of 35mm compact film cameras so popular, as well as the depictive
performance to satisfy professional photographers, distilled into a
compact 25-mm thin body.
With a high-quality feel and superb
expandability, this is the perfect tool for both professional
photographers and advanced amateurs.
When planning the GR Digital, Ricoh’s
engineers began by identifying the elements needed to provide the high
picture quality demanded by discerning photographers. After extensive
tests and research, Ricoh placed special emphasis on resolution, noise
level, colour aberration correction, colour reproduction, tone, and
distortion characteristics. In order to achieve extremely high levels in
each of these areas, Ricoh gave the GR Digital a CCD with 8,130,000
effective pixels, and also developed two key components: (1) a F2.4 fixed
focal length GR lens with f = 5.9 mm (28 mm converted to 35 mm format
camera) having high resolution and depictive power; and (2) a new GR
Engine image-processing system featuring natural composition and rich,
fine gradations while further lowering noise in all images.
These key components in turn translate
into a high Modulation Transfer Function (MTF) rating for the central area
of the image as well as the edges. MTF is a measure of contrast and
resolution, and one of the most widely used standards for evaluating image
quality. The GR Digital has the descriptive power to show each hair on a
person's head, with superb reproductive capability all the way into the
corners of the picture. The GR Digital’s images also reduce noise,
giving greater continuity in dark areas, reproduces natural tones and
gradations, and reduces blurring and distortion.
Ricoh launched their first digital camera
– the Ricoh DC- in 1995. The Ricoh DC-1 was the world's first digital
camera to support video. Since then, Ricoh have remained at the forefront
of digital camera technology. Ricoh’s leading edge technologies have
seen many breakthroughs with such outstanding features as: 1cm macro,
wide-angle high quality optical zoom lenses, ultra fast response times
(start-up and shutter release lag) and unique linking of communications
and GPS support functions.
