Your eyes have just fallen upon perhaps the lightest and smallest premium compact camera on the market, the Pentax Ricoh GR Camera. Packing a 16.2-million-pixel APS-C sensor and a 18.3mm GR f/2.8 fixed lens, this successor to the GR IV is made to keep a small frame and comes priced to undercut the competition, ringing up for an expected $799. Other notable features include ISO 25600 capability, a pop-up flash, 1080p / 30fps AF video, and 4 fps shooting with continuous autofocus for capturing “fast-moving subjects.” The Ricoh GR is ultimately designed for the photographer who expects high-end features, but without any of the bulk and physical burden of larger cameras, which is achieved with a body that is small enough to slip into a pocket. All of these features are complemented nicely by the Ricoh GR’s ability to instantly share photos and video with its optimized Eye-Fi SD card compatibility, with built-in menus that help the photog automatically transmit stills and video to a smartphone for crazy fast sharing, resize images, or even add in creative effects. Following in a long line of great GR cameras before it, you can be a lucky owner of one of these devices beginning this May 2013.
