Ricoh GR Digital III

This camera is not the most stylish of cameras. In fact, it looks rather plain. But do not let that interfere with an impartial assessment of its performance.

In addition to having an in-built flash, it also include hotshoe for adding a flashgun. The body is also rather sturdy.

This camera has a 10 MP sensor. Supported file formats are JPEG, RAW and AVI. Compared to its previous models, this version has a faster shutter speed. However, the camera has a fixed lens system. This does feel a bit restrictive at times.

In terms of image quality, the result from Ricoh GR Digital III can be very good and should be useful for some artistic and photographic endeavours.

Camera of the future ?

When we think of how a camera is like, we often assume that it has to be something that can be held by the hand. We have the idea that a camera mustl have a camera body and a part for the lens.

Could it be that the cameras of the future be looking very different from what they are like now. For one, perhaps it can be something much smaller due to the advanced in technology making everything smaller.

This is a concept camera from a science fiction artbook call Uncommon Paradigm. The camera of the future is worn and is not carried by the hand.

Could this be a possible direction of future cameras? At the present moment, this may not be possible. In the past, one cannot imagine that film roll will be replaced by digital format. So the future may be more surprising.
