Ricoh have updated their GR Digital II camera with a third-generation model, the unsurprisingly titled GR Digital III.  Packing a new wide-angle 28mm F1.9 GR lens, the GR Digital III has a 10-megapixel CCD and Ricoh’s GR Engine III image processor.  Together they promise the lowest ever ISO sensitivity of a GR-series digital camera, plus minimal color aberration thanks to three special low-dispersion lenses.

Fujifilm’s FinePix Real 3D camera is expected to cost around $600 when it arrives in the US and Europe come September, making the 10-megapixel stereoscopic-shooter around twice the price of comparable 2D rivals.  The camera uses two lenses – spaced roughly the distance of human eyes – to capture two frames simultaneously, combining those in real-time to create a 3D image that can be viewed on special hardware.

LG’s latest super-snapper cellphone has broken cover, and from the spec-sheet at least you’d think this was the handset to quash all point-and-shoot digicams.  The LG GC990 Louvre is tipped (despite LG’s own denials; see after the cut) to launch later on in 2009, taking the place of the existing LG GC900 (aka the Viewty II), and brings with it a 12.1-megapixel camera with Schneider-Kreuznach optics, Xenon flash and what the company suggests is ISO 3200 sensitivity.

Panasonic have released a firmware update for its digital camera range that blocks the use of third-party batteries.  The update, which is now available for sixteen cameras in Panasonic’s range, addresses “imitation” batteries that the company suggests “do not meet the rigid safety standards Panasonic uses”.
