Ricoh has announced the new Ricoh GR IV, an update to the Ricoh GR III, and a very appealing looking camera, with a 26MP APS-C CMOS sensor, 28mm equivalent f/2.8 lens, fast focusing, including snap shot shooting, and a truly pocketable compact camera body. There’s just one thing that puts me off buying this camera, the price. It’s available for $1499 / £1199. This makes the older model the one I’d go for while it’s still available. You can watch our video below to find out what’s new, how it performs, and more.
