Review Summary
2013-07-24T21:00:00
The Ricoh GRD IV is responsive, with customizable functionality and a low shutter response time that I think is comparable to any of the gripped, pro level dSLR bodies D4, Mark whatever EOS bodies). My only gripe is the power management on these cameras. Left in sleep mode (lens extended, rear LCD off), battery will deplete in under four hours so do yourseld a favor and purchase another battery!

I received the Ricoh GRD IV and started using in past two weeks. I was impressed with the quality of the images I made with little review of custom settings. After a few days of exploring camera menu further, I found it quite intuitive and user friendly. The manual is actually a printed little book, which makes it easy to read and fiddle with camera as you go along. I anticipate carrying the camera with me daily, learning the various features and creating even better photos. I have had several film SLRs in the past, but never a digital one. The GRD IV is the first pocket-size camera that has made me feel in control again and finally able to enjoy digital photography. I am giving the camera five stars, as I have yet to discover any negatives.

The first thing I noticed about my GRD IV was its quality build; the grip is comfortable to hold and the body has a sort of grainy feel (which I love). The LCD screen was extremely clear as well! Although some people view the lack of zoom as a con, I see it as a pro because (concerning street photography) it allows you to get CLOSER to your subject. I personally prefer fixed lenses over zoom lenses. The Ricoh GRD IV, however, lacks a viewfinder. But, it can work to your advantage. If a viewfinder is essential to you; Ricoh has some optional accessories like the GV-1 and GV-2 OVF. If you're a street photographer, you can probably get away with a lot of photo opportunities that come your way because you'll just look like another person (or tourist) with a compact camera. Which leads me to my next point. I love how small and compact the GRD IV is. It definitely lightens the load on my shoulders when it's mounted on my Custom SLR Gliding Strap as well as when it's in my Retrospective 5. I love carrying around my Nikon D300 with me, but sometimes it just gets in the way. I would definitely recommend this camera to anyone who is considering it. Although it is expensive for a compact camera, it is worth EVERY penny! I know that it's tough trying to find out info or reviews on the Ricoh GRD IV, but, give it a try. You will not be disappointed.

I owned the Ricoh GR-1 many years ago and that was my favorite camera ever. More recently I've used the Nikon D80 (which I still own and enjoy) but it's too big to lug around everywhere. I did use a Canon Elph something or other but it died and I disliked the Canon menus. When I saw this camera and started reading about it, I knew it was a contender. The customizable menu is fantastic. There are so many ways you can set it so that the camera operates to your individual liking. High degree of usability. Pictures are great and best of all, I can take it everywhere. It's completely unobtrusive. Even my 12-year-old daughter thinks it's an "old" camera since it has that classic look. I like that--I figure it's less likely to get stolen. :) I might not recommend this camera to just anyone--I think the best user is self-selecting. I wouldn't buy it for my mom, for example. Different people need and want different things.

Designed to faithfully evolve the core values of the GR-series—high image quality, quick responsiveness, and portability— the RICOH GR IV is equipped with newly developed key components, including lens, image sensor, imaging engine and enhanced image stabilization. It delivers high-quality, high-resolution images with intuitive, responsive snapshot operation, making it an excellent choice for snapshot photography.
The slim magnesium alloy- wrapped body, redesigned controls, and improved thumb grip give you both comfort and control.
At just 262g, the GR IV stays pocketable and portable.
The back-illuminated APS-C CMOS sensor works with the GR ENGINE 7 to capture stunning detail. With 25.74 effective megapixels and an accelerator unit, the GR IV reduces noise and reaches ISO 204800.
Attach the GA-3 Lens Adapter to add 49mm filters or the GW-4 Wide Conversion Lens.
The GR IV uses a five-axis Shake Reduction system to compensate for pitch, yaw, roll, and shift shake.
The GR IV powers on in just 0.6 seconds, the fastest in GR history. Its redesigned lens barrel and start-up sequence let you react instantly.
Switch easily between Program AE, Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority, and Manual Exposure. The new Snap Distance-Priority AE mode adds depth-of-field control based on subject distance, making street photography even more intuitive.
The GR IV introduces Cinema mode with yellow and green tones. Adjust grain, contrast, and toning to create a nostalgic film effect. With 12 Image Control modes, you shape the mood of every shot.
The 3.0-inch LCD monitor (1.03M dots) uses air-gapless construction to cut glare and reflection.
The Outdoor Monitor setting automatically adjusts brightness, giving you clear visibility in sunlight or low light.
The GR IV connects to smartphones and tablets via Bluetooth® and Wi-Fi.
Use the GR WORLD app to transfer images, trigger the shutter remotely, or sync GPS data.
The GF-2 External Flash is compact, lightweight, and pocket-friendly. When mounted, it adjusts automatically in ISO Auto Flash mode.
The DB-120 rechargeable lithium-ion battery powers more shots per charge. Pair it with the BJ-12 dual charger to keep your camera ready at all times.
