The Ricoh GR-1s is a pocket-sized point-and-shoot film camera with a 28mm lens. With a customized lens kit, it offers more manual control than other film cameras in the same class. The Ricoh GR-1s allows superior photography in aperture-priority mode from f22 through to f2.8, enabling good control over the depth of field. Exposure compensation of +/-2EV is a useful additional feature that places Ricoh GR-1s a cut above its peers. With a small customized lens kit, it is a handy substitute for an SLR camera in situations where the latter would be cumbersome to carry.
