By PF Staff in Product Updates on Apr 6, 2019

The new Ricoh GR III, which we recently saw at the CP+ 2019 trade show in Japan, has finally started hitting the shelves following an initial wave of pre-orders which were filled last week.  As of April 5th, it is in stock at B&H Photo in the US, though other major retailers have not yet received stock.

The GR III is a high-end compact APS-C camera which inherits a host of features from recent Pentax DSLRs, such as sensor-shift Shake Reduction.  Moreover, the camera builds on all of the sophisticated features from prior GR models.  The GR line's claim to fame is small size: the GR III, along with all of its predecessors, is easily pocketable.  As such, GRs have grown a reputation for being an excellent choice for street photography.

To learn more about the GR line, you might be interested in checking out our in-depth review of the original APS-C Ricoh GR.  Stay tuned for a review of the GR III itself in the coming months!

Note that Ricoh has recently posted a service notice which applies to select GR III cameras sold from early batches.  Some of these units have been reported to suffer from a minor button defect (which does not hinder operation or performance) which will be repaired free of charge (worldwide) and result in a warranty extension (US only).
