Ricoh

Ricoh GR IV HDF

The GR IV with Ricoh's Highlight Diffusion Filter built in: switch it on and bright highlights bloom softly, for a mellow, film-like glow without screwing a diffusion filter onto the lens. The trade is the standard model's 2-stop ND filter, which the HDF version drops. Everything else matches the GR IV: 25.7MP APS-C sensor, 28mm-equivalent f/2.8 lens, phase-detect AF, 6-stop IBIS and a 262g pocketable body with no built-in viewfinder.

📝 How suitability scores are calculated GearScore™ genre scores are calculated from this camera's verified specifications — autofocus, sensor, weight, weather sealing and more — weighted by what matters for each type of photography. Where a spec sheet misses something (e.g. a manual-focus rangefinder for street), we apply a documented editorial adjustment. Scores are not based on customer reviews. See our full methodology →
