Ricoh Launches GR IV: A Compact Camera with a Price Tag
Ricoh has unveiled the latest addition to its camera lineup, the Ricoh GR IV, which improves upon the popular GR III. This new compact camera features a 26MP APS-C CMOS sensor and a 28mm equivalent f/2.8 lens. It promises fast focusing capabilities, including a snapshot shooting mode, all within a pocket-sized body that appeals to both amateur and professional photographers.
Despite its impressive specifications, the camera’s price of $1,499 raises concerns for potential buyers. This cost makes the previous model, the GR III, a more attractive option while it remains available on the market.
Key Features of the Ricoh GR IV
The Ricoh GR IV boasts several noteworthy features that enhance its usability. In addition to the high-resolution sensor, it includes in-body image stabilization (IBIS) to help reduce blur from camera shake. The camera’s 3-inch touchscreen display, though non-tilting, offers intuitive navigation for users.
For videographers, the GR IV supports Full HD video recording, ensuring that users can capture high-quality footage alongside still images. The camera’s design remains sleek and portable, making it suitable for street photography and travel.
Sample Imagery and Performance
Early reviews and sample images from the Ricoh GR IV highlight its performance in various lighting conditions. For instance, a monochrome street photo captured at f/2.8 and ISO 400 showcases the camera’s ability to render details with clarity. Other sample images include dynamic street scenes, such as a cyclist in motion, illustrating the camera’s fast focusing capabilities in action.
While the Ricoh GR IV presents an appealing option with its advanced features, the price point may deter many enthusiasts. As photographers weigh their options, the older GR III remains a viable choice, especially for those looking for an excellent camera without the latest upgrades.
