The "Ricoh GR IV" establishes itself as the definitive compact camera for street photography, maintaining its iconic pocket design but with significant internal improvements. The highlight is its new 26MP APS-C sensor and GR Engine 7 processor, which together offer much faster and more accurate hybrid autofocus in face and eye detection. In addition, it introduces a 5-axis in-body stabilization system (IBIS), allowing you to obtain sharp images at very low shutter speeds, ideal for capturing low-light urban scenes without the need for a tripod. Regarding its construction and usability, the camera maintains its extreme portability with a weight of just 262 grams. A notable change in ergonomics is the replacement of the rear dial with a rocker control for added durability, along with the inclusion of 53GB of internal memory, a very useful safety net for photographers on the go. Although it is still limited in video (Full HD), its autonomy has improved by 25% thanks to the new DB-120 battery, reaffirming its position as a specialized tool for photographers looking for maximum image quality in a format that fits in the palm of the hand.
