"Truly great photographs aren't always beautiful, but they have something extra about them that makes them stick in your mind. Cameras are like that, too. Most of the cameras that I've really loved were far from perfect: the Fujifilm x70, the Ricoh GR III, the Panasonic GF1. All of these cameras have flaws, and yet they are the most compelling cameras I've used in over 10 years of testing cameras for WIRED."
"The GR series has been the pocket point-and-shoot to have for years, going all the way back to when it was a film camera. I'm happy to report that the latest addition to the storied lineup continues the tradition. But then you probably already know that, because you probably preordered one back when they were announced. Let's take a minute to run through the next 1,000 words on why you're smart and that was a great purchase."
The Ricoh GR IV is a pocketable point-and-shoot that upgrades the GR line with a new lens offering improved corner sharpness and a slightly larger sensor for enhanced image quality. Rear controls have been rearranged for easier handling and dust sealing has been added around the lens. Autofocus and subject-tracking performance have been improved and a new snap focus mode has been introduced. The camera still lacks full weather sealing and offers limited video capabilities compared with larger mirrorless models. The design continues the GR series' emphasis on compactness and compelling, street-ready image performance.
