Ricoh APS-C

Ricoh GR IV

Year 2025 · APS-C

The "Ricoh GR IV" establishes itself as the definitive compact camera for street photography, maintaining its iconic pocket design but with significant internal improvements. The highlight is its new 26MP APS-C sensor and GR Engine 7 processor, which together offer much faster and more accurate hybrid autofocus in face and eye detection. In addition, it introduces a 5-axis in-body stabilization system (IBIS), allowing you to obtain sharp images at very low shutter speeds, ideal for capturing low-light urban scenes without the need for a tripod. Regarding its construction and usability, the camera maintains its extreme portability with a weight of just 262 grams. A notable change in ergonomics is the replacement of the rear dial with a rocker control for added durability, along with the inclusion of 53GB of internal memory, a very useful safety net for photographers on the go. Although it is still limited in video (Full HD), its autonomy has improved by 25% thanks to the new DB-120 battery, reaffirming its position as a specialized tool for photographers looking for maximum image quality in a format that fits in the palm of the hand.

Leica M11-P

Year 2023 · Full Frame

The Leica M11-D stands out for fusing the most advanced digital technology with a purist and minimalist user experience. Equipped with a 60MP Full Frame BSI-CMOS sensor, it offers exceptional image quality and great flexibility thanks to its 256 GB of internal storage. Its design completely dispenses with the rear LCD screen, replacing it with a mechanical ISO dial, forcing the photographer to trust his technique and eliminating digital distractions during shooting, although maintaining modern connectivity through the Leica FOTOS app. The most relevant thing about this model is its focus on authenticity and portability. It is one of the lightest and thinnest rangefinder cameras in its class, with a weather-sealed body and a remarkable autonomy of 700 shots. In addition, it is a pioneer in integrating C2PA technology to guarantee the origin of the images. Lacking autofocus, internal stabilization or video mode, it is positioned as a niche tool dedicated exclusively to high-precision still photography for users looking for the feel of an analog camera without giving up the resolution of a next-generation sensor.

Nikon D810A

Year 2015 · Full Frame

The Nikon D810A is a specialized variant whose main feature is a modified IR cut filter, designed specifically for deep sky astrophotography. This modification makes it four times more sensitive to the H-alpha spectral line (wavelength of 656 nm), allowing it to capture emission nebulae that standard cameras usually ignore with a natural reddish intensity and color. Because of this filter, it is an optimized tool to capture the finer details of the universe that are invisible to the human eye. Beyond the sensor, the D810A introduces exclusive software features to make night work easier, such as Manual Long Exposure Mode (M)*, which allows shutter times of up to 900 seconds without the need for an external remote control. It also includes an optimized on-screen preview for focusing on stars and superior internal noise reduction for extremely long exposures. Although it maintains the 36.3 MP resolution of its standard sister, its technical configuration defines it as a niche camera, essential for those seeking maximum fidelity in astronomical photography.

Nikon D810

Year 2014 · Full Frame

The Nikon D810 established itself as one of the most versatile DSLR cameras for professionals thanks to its 36.3MP full-frame sensor that dispenses with the low-pass filter (OLPF). This feature, combined with the EXPEED 4 processor, allows for extreme sharpness and exceptional dynamic range, ideal for landscape and studio photography. In addition, it stands out for offering a native ISO of 64, the lowest at the time for a DSLR, which guarantees incredibly clean images with rich tonal transitions even in bright light conditions. Its robustness and performance are complemented by a redesigned shutter mechanism that minimizes internal vibrations, along with a high-precision 51-point autofocus system. Unlike its predecessors, the D810 is significantly improved in video, enabling Full HD recording at 60p with clean HDMI output, and offering class-leading battery life (up to 1,200 shots), making it a reliable all-round work tool.

Nikon DL (Cancelled)

Year 2016 · 1 inch

The Nikon DL series was an ambitious bid to dominate the premium compact market through three variants equipped with 1-inch sensors: the DL18-50, featuring a class-leading f/1.8 ultra-wide-angle lens; the DL24-85, designed for everyday use with an impressive 1:1 macro function; and the DL24-500, a "superzoom" version for capturing long-distance action. All models shared high-end technologies such as the EXPEED 6A processor, a blazing-fast hybrid autofocus system, 20 fps continuous shooting, and 4K UHD video recording, all within a user interface familiar to DSLR owners. However, the project was permanently canceled in February 2017, one year after its announcement, without ever hitting the shelves. The decision was driven by critical development delays caused by issues with the image processing chip and an unexpected increase in production costs. Faced with a compact camera market that was rapidly shrinking due to the evolution of smartphones, Nikon determined that the DL series would no longer be profitable, making it one of the most famous cases of "vaporware" in photography history. ------- Official Announcement: Cancellation of the Launch of the Premium Compact Camera DL Series / February 13, 2017 TOKYO - Nikon Corporation announced today that sales of the highly anticipated DL series of premium compact cameras—the DL18-50mm f/1.8-2.8, DL24-85mm f/1.8-2.8, and DL24-500mm f/2.8-5.6—will be canceled. The DL series was originally planned for release in June 2016. However, after issues were identified with the image processing integrated circuit, the launch of the three cameras was indefinitely postponed. Since then, everyone involved has worked diligently to develop products that will satisfy our customers. However, the decision has been made to cancel sales of the DL series due to concerns about its profitability, considering the increased development costs and the anticipated decrease in sales due to the slowing market. We sincerely apologize to everyone affected by this decision, especially customers who have waited so long for the cameras to be released, retailers, and others whose businesses will be impacted, for any inconvenience this decision may cause.

Nikon 1 AW1

Year 2013 · 1 inch

The Nikon 1 AW1 stands out for being the only interchangeable lens camera in the world designed to be completely waterproof (up to 15 meters) and drop resistant without the need for an external case. Equipped with a 1-inch 14.2MP sensor, it offers an extremely fast hybrid autofocus system and burst shooting up to 60 fps, making it ideal for action and water sports. Its most important features include its robust stainless steel construction, hermetic sealing reinforced with O-rings, integrated GPS with depth gauge and compass, and the ability to interchange specific AW series lenses that maintain the system's watertightness in extreme cold and wet conditions.

Nikon D800E

Year 2012 · Full Frame

The Nikon D800E is a specialized version of the D800 that stands out mainly for the elimination of the effects of the low-pass filter (anti-aliasing). This technical modification allows the 36.3MP sensor to capture even greater sharpness and detail, making it a cult camera for landscape, architectural and studio photographers looking for the highest possible resolution. However, this improvement comes with a higher risk of moiré appearing in certain repetitive patterns, requiring a more careful post-processing workflow. As for the rest of its specifications, it maintains the professional robustness of its sister: a weather-sealed magnesium alloy body, a 51-point focusing system and a class-leading dynamic range. It's a heavy camera (900g) and lacks modern wireless connectivity or articulating screen, but its image quality remains outstanding even against current standards. It is, in essence, the ultimate tool for those who prioritize pure detail over versatility or speed of fire.
