The GR II is the smallest premium digital compact camera, offering digital single-lens reflex (DSLR) image quality with Wi-Fi and Near Field Communication (NFC) functionality. The GR 18.3mm F2.8 lens is a compact, high-performance GR lens with a focal length of 28mm (in the 35 mm format). It also boasts a large, APS-C-size CMOS image sensor with approximately 16.2 effective megapixels.

Features of the GR II Silver Edition include:

    --  Stylish silver camera body: The camera body has a high-grade,
        silver-color leather-tone finish, featuring an elegant, grained texture.
    --  Distinctive features compared to the standard GR II: The Silver
        Edition's shutter release button and the ring cap have been finished in
        silver identical to that of the camera body. Additionally, the lens
        descriptions are engraved on the front ring using a diamond-cutting
        process and the GR logo's color on the camera's front panel has been
        changed to white. Even the product box has been specially designed for
        this package.
    --  Termination screen: When the camera's power is turned off, the camera
        displays an original termination screen, which has a solid, high-grade
        design expressing the GR II's product concept.
    --  Genuine leather camera case: The package includes a black,
        genuine-leather camera case exclusively designed for the GR II camera
        body. It provides features useful for quick-action snapshot photography,
        including a belt loop on the back, and a top cover that opens fully for
        easy removal of the camera body.
