Launch and price
Ricoh GR IV will be available in September at $1,499.95, a $600 increase compared to the GR III’s launch price in 2019.

New sensor and lens
The camera features a 26-megapixel APS-C sensor and a redesigned 28mm-equivalent f/2.8 lens for enhanced image quality.

Improved stabilisation and autofocus
It introduces 5-axis image stabilisation and an overhauled autofocus system for faster, more accurate tracking.

Compact and lightweight build
Despite upgrades, it maintains a pocket-friendly design, weighs just 262 grams, and includes 53GB of internal storage with microSD support.

Image quality and appeal
Sample shots suggest sharper results and improved stability, while the signature GR look remains. The higher price may, however, restrict its reach.
