Here are some general test shots to help evaluate the camera's overall image quality, including the zoom range of the lens. Some pictures may be clicked to download the full size original image.





The GR Digital is a pleasure to use. I nearly missed my train I was having so much fun.

This was shot using aperture priority on f/9 and a shutter speed of 1/9th of a second, with the camera braced on a railing.





Dynamic range is better than average for a 10MP camera thanks to the larger 1/1.75-in sensor.





The unusual fixed wide-angle lens encourages creative photography.





Post-processing Raw shots can produce some great results.

Yes, the GR Digital II has the same bayonet mount for the GW-1 and GT-1 accessory lenses, and the hot-shoe mounted GV-1 optical viewfinder works exactly as before.
