Good overall pictures, almost no chromatic aberration, stylish retro design, tons of functionality
Expensive, no zoom, some noise issues The Final Word Due to the high price tag, Ricohs GR Digital II will not be for everyone, but if youre an enthusiast after a backup camera for your SLR this model makes a stylish choice.

Abstract: A successor to the award-winning GR Digital, which was released in October 2005, Ricohs GR Digital II offers higher resolution and a new GR Engine II image processor but otherwise retains most of the features that made its predecessor popular with pho...
Combining high-spec features and great image quality into a tiny body makes the GR II a tantalising proposition. For those after a highly portable, take-anywhere camera that's no more intrusive than a smartphone, it can slip into a pocket but offers cutti...
Abstract: My routine is unpack the unit, insert the battery and an SD card and switch on assuming the battery has power I take a few test shots and this was when I discovered there was no zoom available. I check on the lettering on the front of the lens confirmed t...
Totally customisable controls for personalised handling, Instinctive and userfriendly (once set up), "Snap" preset focus mode is great for street photography, Picture quality up to 6400 ISO, Build quality, Good 28 mm, f/2.8 lens, WiFi
Requires user input to set up and use, advanced knowledge required, Slightly slower response times than the GR, Video quality is nothing special, Startup is a bit slow, Battery life could be better

Slow autofocus focus in dim light, poor video quality with zero controls, and a relatively complicated menu system given its features dim its allure
For inconspicuous and quick street shooting or as a travel camera for landscape fans, the Ricoh GR II hits the mark. But If you want video or the shooting-angle flexibility that a movable LCD or viewfinder provides, this may not be the camera for you...
This is a camera you'd choose for certain jobs only.The Ricoh is specialised, then, but it does what it does exceptionally well. At the start we sang the praises of fixed focal length lenses, and this is a prime (sorry!) example.At f/2.4 it's a tad fas...
The real bonus of the Ricoh GR Digital II lies in the ADJ level and scroll wheel that make using it as close as you’re going to get to D-SLR handling in a compact camera. ...
Great pictures, Quick and easy to use, Good feature set
Restrictive lens
The 28mm equivalent wide-angle lens on the Ricoh GR Digital II is great for landscapes, interiors, architecture and street photography, but hopeless for portraits, long-range sports photography and all but the tamest wildlife.This is a camera youd c...
