Ricoh's successor to the beloved GR III is here! Iterating on a successful formula, the Ricoh GR IV maintains the familiar – though slimmer – ultra-compact design while evolving the camera's lens, image sensor, imaging engine and image stabilizer. The result is a pocketable companion that delivers exceptional high-res snapshots with responsive and intuitive functionality. Let's take a look at the GR IV's key features:
Ricoh GR IV Compact Camera
- Newly designed, super slim, high-performance GR LENS 18.3mm F2.8 provides high-resolution images with edge-to-edge sharpness, while minimizing distortion and chromatic aberration.
- 25.74 MP back-illuminated APS-C-size CMOS image sensor for higher sensitivity and reduced noise with an upgraded GR ENGINE 7 imaging engine.
- RICOH-original accelerator unit optimizes the high signal-to-noise ratio image data captured by the sensor before passing it to the imaging engine for super-high-sensitivities up to ISO 204800.
- Updated 5-axis SR (Shake Reduction) mechanism for much-improved camera shake compensation by up to six shutter steps.
- 3.0-inch high-definition (1,037,000 dots) LCD monitor with air gapless construction designed to greatly reduce reflection and dispersion of light for improved visibility while shooting outdoors.
- Reduced start-up time to approximately 0.6 seconds.
- A new, high-capacity rechargeable lithium-ion battery provides improved battery life.
- Upgraded connectivity with a dual-communication system that combines Bluetooth® and wireless LAN.
- An optional compact and slimly designed GF-2 External Flash.
