Ricoh Imaging Americas Corporation announced the RICOH GR III Diary Edition Special Limited Kit.

This package features the RICOH GR III premium digital compact camera with a metallic, warm-gray finish. The camera is available in a limited quantity of only 2,000 units worldwide.

It includes exclusive, specially-designed accessories. These include a leather finger strap, a ring cap and a metallic hot shoe cover. Both are finished in a natural silver color. And, a camera case made of unbleached sailcloth with a leather accent.

This camera debuts a new image-control mode that provides a negative-film finishing touch. The new mode produces an exquisite balance between rich colors and the unique discoloration common in prints produced from negative film. This mode will also be available for RICOH GR III and RICOH GR IIIx series models via firmware update,

The RICOH GR III Diary Edition Special Limited Kit will be available in late January 2023 at www.us.ricoh-imaging.com for the manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $1,149.95. It is scheduled for availability in the Spring of 2023.

Main features of the RICOH GR III Diary Edition

The RICOH GR III Diary Edition camera body is treated with a metallic warm-gray finish. The surface texture has been designed to reflect the camera’s reliability and quality. It also assures a firm hold on the camera body. The grip rubber has a dark-brown finish, complementing the camera body.

When mounted, the ring cap and metallic hot shoe cover, accentuate the warm-color camera body and enhance the sense of quality.

• The leather finger strap is included as an exclusive accessory for this limited-edition package. The strap’s well-conceived design has been created with utmost attention to every detail, enhancing the sense of exclusiveness.
• The case, made of unbleached sailcloth, is also included as an exclusive accessory. It comes with a leather belt that is identical to the finger strap. The sailcloth material was selected because its appearance will become richer and more attractive over the years of use.
• The camera features a new image-control mode that provides a negative-film finishing appearance.* Based on the visual effects possible only with negative film, this mode produces a balance between rich colors and the uniquely discolored prints resulting from using negative film.
• In another new feature, the camera displays the number of images captured each day, the total number of recorded images, and the firmware version just before its power is shut off.*
  
• When the camera’s power is turned off, it displays an original shutdown screen featuring an emboss-type product logo.

Note: The camera’s other specifications are identical to those of the standard GR III model.

* These functions will be available for GR III- and GR IIIx-series models with the installation of function-expansion firmware (scheduled to be released following this package’s launch).
