help Ricoh GR IV FAQ
Does the Ricoh GR IV exist yet?
As of the mid-2020s, Ricoh has not released a camera called the GR IV. The current flagship models in the GR compact series are the GR III, released in 2019, and the GR IIIx, released in 2021, both featuring a 24MP APS-C sensor.
What is the difference between the Ricoh GR III and GR IIIx?
The primary difference is the lens: the GR III has a 28mm equivalent f/2.8 lens, while the GR IIIx has a 40mm equivalent f/2.8 lens offering a tighter, more standard field of view. Both cameras share the same 24MP APS-C sensor, in-body image stabilization, compact body, and touchscreen interface.
Does the Ricoh GR IIIx have a built-in flash?
No, neither the GR III nor the GR IIIx includes a built-in flash, continuing a design choice from earlier GR Digital models. Ricoh offers an optional external flash unit, the GF-1, that mounts on the camera's hot shoe.
Is the Ricoh GR IIIx good for street photography?
The GR IIIx is popular among street photographers because its 40mm equivalent focal length provides a slightly tighter and more intimate framing than the 28mm standard used in most street photography. Its very compact size, near-silent leaf shutter, and customizable snap-focus feature make it well suited for discreet candid shooting.
