    Ricoh GR-21 Digital CameraToday Ricoh Japan announced the Ricoh GR-21 Digital Camera, it is a high resolution digital camera for professional photographers. Ricoh has placed special emphasis on the resolution, noise level, color aberration correction, color reproduction, tone, and distortion characteristics of this camera. The Ricoh GR-21 Digital has the descriptive power to show each hair on a person's head, with superb reproductive capability all the way into the corners of the picture. Ricoh GR-21 will be available in October, price unkown. ricoh.com

    Some features include:

  • CCD with 8,130,000 effective pixels.
  • Compacted into 25mm thin body.
  • Low noise and low chromatic aberration.
  • GR Engine image-processing system featuring natural composition and rich, fine gradations while further lowering noise in all images.
  • F2.4 fixed focal length GR lens with f = 5.9 mm (28 mm converted to 35 mm format camera)
  • Modulation Transfer Function (MTF) rating for the central area of the image as well as the edges. MTF is a measure of contrast and resolution.

    • Other Ricoh GR-21 Digital Camera Key Features Include:

    Seven shutter blades for beautiful:
    "out-of-focus" images From fully open (F2.4) to fully closed (F11), the aperture can be freely adjusted in minute 1/3EV step increments. By giving the GR Digital seven aperture blades -- an uneven number -- GR Digital offers beautifully blurred backgrounds and impressive luminosity when shooting with an open aperture in daylight or artificial lighting.

    Superb lens characteristics guarantee sharp:
    clear pictures corner to corner, frame after frame The GR Digital comes equipped with the renowned GR Lens --a fixed focal length wide-angle F2.4 lens (f=5.9mm: equivalent to 28mm focal length on 35mm film camera) -- that brings one of the most popular traditions in conventional film camera history to digital photography. New breakthroughs in high resolution and high contrast deliver the ultimate in beautiful, real wide-angle shots under various conditions. What's more, the GR Digital's two MTF line values -- tangential and radial -- are almost identical, for natural blurring outside the "in-focus" range.

    A lens design achieved in pursuit:
    of high image quality and even brightness This definitive showcase of Ricoh's optical technology is provided compliments of our special brand of know-how and long years of experience. The lens design configures six optical-glass lenses, including aspherical surface lenses, in five groups to correct distortion to the very corners of the wide-angle image (28mm equivalent focal length). While lens dimensions are extremely compact for easy carrying, the lens achieves impressive brightness (F2.4) when the aperture is fully open.

    So Whats In The BOX?
