A cult favourite among street photographers and creative professionals around the world, the GR-series has built its reputation on blending exceptional image quality with fast, intuitive operation, all in a pocket-sized form factor. The new GR IV continues this legacy, now equipped with a newly developed 25.74-megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor<\/strong>, a re-engineered 18.3mm f\/2.8 GR lens<\/strong>, and a host of improvements that elevate responsiveness<\/strong>, stability<\/strong>, and usability<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Engineered from the ground up, the GR IV features Ricoh\u2019s GR Engine 7<\/strong>, delivering richer gradation<\/strong>, reduced noise<\/strong>, and high-sensitivity shooting up to ISO 204800<\/strong>. The enhanced five-axis in-body stabilisation mechanism enables sharper handheld shots, while the upgraded autofocus system and optimised start-up sequence allow photographers to shoot in just 0.6 seconds<\/strong>, the fastest in GR history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
