Hi, new to GR here. May I know if I want to purchase a charger, what is the compatible charger that can charge GR battery? Same for the battery, is there any OEM batts for GR, how cheap is it compared to original and whether recommeded?

Thanks.

DiviPower has the OEM charger for the GR. Same for batteries. The Camera Workshop has them.

Can go to The Camera Workshop to inquire as I don't have the GR.

I had a Panasonic LX5 3rd party charger and it can charge the GR battery. But need to jam in a coin as there's a slight gap between the batt and the slot. Bought from ebay at usd4.50.

Gotta check if my LX5 batts can work in GR

Thanks bros.

Other than OEM or LX5 charger, is there any camera shops selling the original charger and battery, and how much?

The one Ranchy suggested looks good but I can't wait the delivery time so prefer to get it from local shop and if possible original version but if really no choice, will consider OEM as well.

And one more thing, do you guys think LE version is worth?

Cheers.

Locally, I am not sure where have those original Charger or Battery. I remember seeing the battery at TK Photo at Funan but it was quite long ago.. You may try there...

But I felt getting the charger from ebay more worth it

Thanks Ranchy. I will check and if they are out of stock, will go with DiviPower since I need it quite urgent.
Cheers.

Try PariSilk in Holland V, or Manly Dept store in Chinatown.

Have you try looking at TK? Those Felix suggested may have also, hopefully.. hehe..

Are there any shops that still sell the GR V brand new? Any idea what is the street price?

Nu Foto at the Former Meridien Hotel, the one before the Istana, is selling the GR Digital brand new. Last I asked, it was $8xx, same as the limited edition.

Nu Foto at the Former Meridien Hotel...

Hi Felix, pardon my ignorance. I've never heard of Nu Foto. Are they trustworthy or dodgy like shops at Sim Lim?

Authorised Ricoh/Pentax/Sigma Dealer. If dodgy, I will not ask you to go there.

TK has it as well at $8xx

Yeah, I swung by TK yesterday and saw that. That's quite a tempting offer and it's making my decision (ricoh GR V vs Oly EM10) much harder!
