Ricoh GR IV

The fourth-generation GR keeps the formula the cult following wants — a 28mm-equivalent lens on APS-C, pocketable enough for genuinely everyday carry — while adding IBIS, a new 25.7MP sensor and phase-detect AF for the first time. Still no viewfinder built in (an optical finder is a separate accessory), and video stays a strict secondary feature at 1080p.

✅ Great For
🌆
Street 8.4 Strong on portability, its 28mm lens and discreet body. The pocketable body, snap-focus, and 28mm equivalent lens are exactly why the GR line has a cult following among street shooters.
✈️
Travel 7.2 Strong on portability, autofocus and stabilisation. Small enough to genuinely carry everywhere, with APS-C image quality most compacts this size can't match.
⚠️ Not Ideal For
🔬
Macro 4.5 Held back by its 28mm lens and in-camera focus stacking.
🧑
Portrait 4.5 Held back by its 28mm lens and screen flexibility. Scored down: fixed wide prime for portraits.
🌌
Astrophotography 4.5 Held back by astro aids and battery life.
📝 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 →
