Review Summary

Rated 5 out of 5

best compact camera ever!

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!

Immediately impressed!

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.

Definitely worth the price!

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.

Ricoh lover

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.
