Ricoh GR II Review
The Ricoh GR II is a modest update to many a photographer's favorite pocket camera, adding Wi-Fi and a few firmware tweaks. The GR family has deep roots at Ricoh, dating back nearly 20 years to the days of 35mm film. With the move to digital came models with smaller image sensors, but all maintained the classic wide-angle 28mm (equivalent) field of view that makes a GR a GR. Ricoh introduced its first large-sensor digital model, simply named the Ricoh GR ($970.95 at Amazon) , in 2013. It moved the sensor size to APS-C, the same type found in consumer D-SLRs, while keeping a pocket-friendly design. At its heart, the new GR II ($699.95) is the same camera, just with the addition of Wi-Fi and a few firmware tweaks. It's still the best choice for 28mm devotees in search of a pocketable camera that doesn't sacrifice image quality, and an easy pick for our Editors' Choice. Design and FeaturesThe GR II ($999.95 at Amazon) is so small, it's hard to believe that its image sensor is the same size as you'll find in a Canon Rebel T6s ($849.99 at Office Depot® & OfficeMax®) SLR. It measures 2.5 by 4.6 by 1.4 inch...
