![]() ![]() I did experience some stability issues on my first outing, but they never returnedĭuring the course of that first evening in Gatlinburg - unfortunately, an hour from home and without a spare flash card on me - I suffered a couple of failures to write the buffer to storage properly, and one complete camera lockup as well. I regularly had to pause during these long bursts to allow traffic and pedestrians to pass, or because of other brief interruptions to the scene, and so often popped over to playback mode to quickly reconfirm my last-used shutter speed, as well. ![]() On my first night's shoot, I really put the GR III's buffer through a workout, shooting long bursts of raw+JPEG files as I varied the shutter speed to get a handle on how the image stabilization performed, and what the limit of hand-holdability might be. I started shooting each time a little before sunset, and continued on for as long after dark each night as the vagaries of both the weather and my schedule allowed. To get a handle on the GR III's low-light chops, I recently headed to the tourist town of Gatlinburg, Tennessee, as well as nearby downtown Knoxville, on several consecutive evenings. A trip (or three!) to downtown Knoxville and Gatlinburg for some low-light shooting I also want to take a look at the GR III's video capture feature set, and to give its wireless communications a quick spin as well. ![]() You'll also find a discussion of the real-world importance of ithe GR III's somewhat abbreviated battery life in that earlier article.įor this second test, we'll be looking at how image quality fares in low-light shooting once the sensitivity ramps up, and how well the sensor-shift image stabilization system performs. If you've not already seen that earlier test, you'll want to start the story there for a look at how the handsome, magnesium alloy-bodied GR III handles in real-world shooting, and what I think of its ergonomics and daytime image quality. When I recently published my first field test of the Ricoh GR III, I promised another test to come, with a look at some features I'd not had time for in that first article.
