TrustedReviews NewslettersOver the next few pages we show a range of test shots. On this page the full size image at the minimum and maximum ISO settings have been reduced to let you see the full image, and a series of full resolution crops have taken from original images at a range of ISO settings to show the overall image quality. These ISO test images are shot indoors using reflected natural light for maximum consistency.
This is the full frame at minimum ISO. This shot was taken indoors using reflected daylight from a window. As you can see the automatic white balance has made a bit of a bish.
At 80 ISO there is plenty of fine detail and colours are nice and clear, but there is a haze of granular noise across the whole image.
Results at 100 ISO are about the same.
Slightly more noise visible at 200 ISO.
At 400 ISO the image quality is a lot worse, with bad distortion in both the red and green areas, and a lot of noise plainly visible.
Quality is worse still at 800 ISO.
Terrible image quality at 1600 ISO.
The same inaccurate white balance is visible in this full frame at 1600 ISO.

I think this camera has something special by not being perfect, a collecters item for artistic users, I made a download of pics of its competitors in another review site and the ri... more

Cliff, you wrote "Why Ricoh didn’t switch to the excellent 1/1.75-inch sensor from the GR Digital II is a mystery." Is it? With a larger sensor, which is indeed physicall... more
