Ricoh GR IV Review: A Successor Worth Waiting For

Small, pocketable cameras with fixed lenses hold an enviable position in the camera world. If a manufacturer makes one, it sells out. Sony has recently released the RX1R III, and preorders have exploded despite the high asking price. Fujifilm has been surfing the X100 tsunami since 2011. Leica has a Q series of cameras that are instantly loved by all who touch them. But Ricoh has been selling its wildly popular GR cameras, going all the way back to the analog days of 1996, when Japanese street photographers popularized the handy pocket camera. The digital GR cameras have always sold well and been coveted by their owners through three models and multiple variations.
