It carries on the tradition of the GR compact film camera series, which received rave reviews for outstanding image quality in the years following the 1996 launch.

Since its launch, the GR DIGITAL series and its unchanging design concept have been enthusiastically received by a broad range of customers, including professional and advanced amateur photographers.

・ CX1 and CX2
The CX1 (March 2009) and the CX2 (September 2009) are two models in the CX series of digital cameras with compact bodies and high-magnification wide-angle zoom lenses. The use of Smooth Imaging Engine IV and a CMOS sensor capable of high-speed image processing has made it possible for the CX series to realize both high image quality and high-speed continuous shooting capabilities.
