Mediocre video quality; lack of a dedicated video recording button.
The GRD IV is a niche product which may appeal to those who can appreciate its robust build quality, fast F1.9 aperture and fixed-focal length lens. ...

Ricoh has wisely decided to keep all the best features from the last model, while adding an improved engine, faster AF, continuous shooting and better low-light imagery. Perhaps Full HD and a lower price tag next time? ...
There is a lot to like about the Ricoh GR Digital IV. With careful exposure settings and post-capture editing, the images it produces are among the most detailed I have seen from a compact digital camera.Those who shoot documentary and travel-type images...
The Ricoh GR DIGITAL IV is compact camera designed for enthusiasts and professionals who want a unit with a fast prime lens. It's capable of capturing vibrant colour and its definition is good for the most part, but it can struggle once the ISO speed i...
