Reviews of the Ricoh GR Digital II
-
CNET Review
The Good: Solid construction; nice wide-angle lens; hot shoe.
The Bad: No zoom lens; no built-in optical viewfinder; slow start-up; clunky converter lens design.
The Bottom Line: The GR Digital II is a cute compact camera that might appeal to street photographers looking to step away from a rangefinder and into digital, but it doesn't deliver the features, performance, or image quality it should given its steep price tag.
