I was about to miss the announcement of new GR since my attention was caught by Sony’s new camera releases. Basically the new one still retains its GR look, so seems to be a renewal with minor improvements.

This time the camera is equipped with NFC and wi-fi functions, which it makes easier to upload photos to SNS site. We prone to judge the value of the latest cameras by how easy to post photos from them to SNS. I reckon the influence on sales by that function cannot be ignored any more as camera manufacturer.

 

On that point, since the RX100 III featured a 180 degrees slefie-friendly tilting LCD display, every camera leading brands put it on as well. It would be no wonder if Ricoh also adds this sort of stuff to keep up with the current trends but probably their intention to retain “GR” models makes them drew a line. Or just a problem of cost (^_^;)
