I bought this as an every day carry about camera so I can leave the DSLR at home. Problem with compact cameras is the image quality. This is overcome with this camera. It's crop image is as good as my cannon 650 DSLR. Quality not on par with my 3D mk 111, but it's only 10% of its cost. I have taken some very usable photographs at 1600 ISO on this. I sell stock photos through an agent and images on this camera pass quality control. I use it in RAW and process in Lightroom.
It's light and got a very fast focuse speed. For street photographs it's a dream come true. I use this with a £2.00 app on my iPhone for geocoding locational shoots. But don't skimp on the card quality or you will be letting the camera down. Use a high speed card above 45mb/s and you got a winning combination.
Battery is charged via the camera. Not the best idea I have come across. Plugging a camera into electricity socket is not something I was keen on so I bough a cheap charger of Amazon with another cheap battery as back up. For less that £20 you get both. I think they are called dot photo.
Yes it's expensive for a compact camera with no zoom. But if your reading this then your more interested in quality photographs. This camera gives quality photographs. I have had A3 prints from it and very good quality. 8x10 Prints on par with my full frame in the right conditions.
I'm not dissapointment with this camera.

Although many have raved about this camera as the perfect carry-everywhere camera, I was underwhelmed by it's performance, and ultimately decided to return it. I was looking for a small camera as an alternative to the Fuji X100S, but while it has the same size (APS-C) sensor, the low light performance is inferior, and as soon as you put it in any kind of case, the size advantage evaporates.
The reason for the case - there have been a number of reports of the camera picking up dust on the sensor if not fully protected, and subsequent difficulty in getting the camera repaired under warranty.
It's most certainly a good camera, but not for me.

I've been a photographer for about 15 years, I also now work as an art director, so if I'm not taking shots I'm surrounded by those who are. This little camera is a serious diamond in the rough. Don't overlook it just because it's not a Nikon or Canon.
PROS:
• The lens is amazing, super sharp.
• Highly customizable.
• Snap focus is fantastic, especially for street photography.
• Size. Fits perfectly in my hand, just feels very natural. Yet small enough to slide in my jeans pocket.
• Invisible. People ignore you, point a big SLR at them and you won't get the same reaction.
• Superfast autofocus (with v4 firmware update)
• TAv mode. This is something I've only seen on Pentax/Ricoh cameras. You set the FStop and SS and the camera picks the ISO. Works great, especially in daylight.
CONS:
• Wish it was weather sealed
• Would love a built-in viewfinder (I added an external, but it's not the same)
• Noise at high ISO
• Built in Wifi
Most of the complaints I've read on here has been addressed with continued firmware updates. I think Ricoh/Pentax plans on really supporting this camera.

I have a Pentax K-5 with tons of prime & pentax limited lenses so I wasn't sure if I really needed this camera. I decided to buy it anyway strictly as a dedicated "street shooter". After using it for about a month now, I have to say that it is fantastic! The image quality is on par or better than my K-5 / DA15 limited lens combination. The best feature of this camera is that it looks like a toy to most people and is unobtrusive. People will tend just to ignore it which will allow you get get more candid shots. Little do they know that it packs a full-sized APS-C sensor and fantastic controls including a "snap focus" feature which is perfect for quick, spur of the moment street shots. It fits right in my pocket and I take it everywhere where I normally would not take my K-5 so I get the shots that I normally would not be getting.
It also does not have an anti-alias filter which increases the sharpness of the photos. It is a solidly built piece of hardware. If you are looking for a fixed lens camera for street shooting or landscapes, this camera will exceed your expectations!
I love my K-5 and the flexibility of switching lenses but this is fast becomming my favorite camera to use.

I absolutely love this camera! Compared to my girlfriend's DSLR, this camera is so much more pocketable, which means it's easier to pull out when an opportunity strikes. I'm also relatively new to photography and this camera has been easy to learn, providing many straightforward options in an easy-to-navigate menu. I like the ability to edit RAW photos on the camera itself. The 16 MP A-COS sensor is fairly ubiquitous right now, and the image quality is decent. I just got back from a trip to Kauai and have hundreds of photos.
Battery life and view finding are my only complaints. The view finder adapter is $250. I find the LCD screen usable, but slightly less creative because I shoot looking at the screen, not the image itself. Also the battery life supports around 290 photos. This seems like a lot, but because of the size, this camera prompts a high volume of shooting.
I highly recommend this camera for beginners that want to learn. There are helpful exposure and other display settings to teach you how the camera functions. The other big plus is customization of buttons and settings once you figure out what you need most frequently. I also think this could be a helpful sidekick for the avid DSLR user, but because of its point and shoot nature, it works best for subject shooting only.
Happy shooting!

Good day! I did have a few question on the camera. Overall I will say that is it wonderful and I look forward to experiencing all of the features offered.
I do have two thoughts that maybe you can shed some light on for me with regards to the condition the camera.
The shutter history showed over 840 shots taken. Being this was to be a new product, I would have expected this to be much lower given some light use during product final inspection. It leads me to believe this camera is either is a slightly used camera or was an in store demo.
The other hint of being used is the scuff mark on one corner of the housing. It clearly has been abraised ever so slightly to affect the removal of the green paint finish on this particular corner. Again, this could be due to being used or an in- store demo.
What are your thoughts on the condition of the camera I received?

I am just back from a trip to Alaska and after snapping 1500 shots in raw and developing them in Lightroom 5, I can honestly say that this camera is fantastic for landscapes. I felt sorry for all the tourists with 10 lbs of equipment they were lugging around to get shots that I was getting with this camera on a carbon fiber monopod. It is a joy to use and clearly was created for the enthusiast. Pentax-Ricoh has been speedy with firmware updates, although the original firmware was fine. The lens is so sharp and the combination of lens, sensor, and processor are amazing and unsurpassed in a small camera. No need for a zoom with such a sharp lens. I found that cropping shots and still having perfect clarity and detail eliminated the need for zoom. With this cropping ability, I feel that the 18.3mm lens gives a zoom range of 28 to 150 mm on a 35mm basis. This is perfect for landscapes. Macro shots were great also. I use a magnetic loupe on the screen for shooting in bright sun. It works perfectly. My rating on this camera, I feel, is probably more significant that most reviews since I have personally owned 40 digital cameras over 20 years. I sell most after I get bored with them or they fail to wow me, but The Ricoh GR is a keeper.

The Ricoh GR is nearly perfect for my needs as a "go everywhere," pocketable camera. It's incredible how such a powerful camera has made it into such an unassuming package.
First of all, the quality of the images is outstanding. I have used it for landscapes, street scenes and even macro photography - and I have not been disappointed. Straight-out-of-camera JPGs look great; the RAW images need some post-processing, and are very malleable in Lightroom; black and white conversion in particular produces stunning results.
Second, the ergonomics are nearly flawless. The rubber grip fits my hand perfectly, and allows me to hold the camera in one hand while simultaneously changing settings with the thumb and forefinger of that hand. The external controls allow me to quickly and easily adjust aperture, ISO, exposure compensation, etc. As others have noted, the controls of the Ricoh GR are very customizable, and I've played with around a number of different configurations. Ricoh clearly designed this camera with photographers in mind.
I had thought that the lack of a viewfinder would be a downside, but I have found composing using the LCD screen to be easy, even in very bright conditions. If this camera had IBIS (I have been spoiled by the OM-D E-M5 in that regard), it would be perfect.
Before buying the Ricoh GR, I tried the RX100 and the Nikon A. The RX100 produces wonderful images, but I did not like the external controls and I did not like how it felt in the hand (though adding the Franiec grip helps). The Nikon A seems like a terrific enthusiast's camera, but it is not better than the Ricoh GR, and certainly not several hundred dollars better. I also own two micro-43 bodies (E-M5, GX1), but with lenses attached they are not pocketable.

This could actually be a wonderful camera as the handling, build quality and most importantly, the image quality is excellent. But within days of owning the camera and having kept it in a suitable case, dust found its way on to the sensor despite this being a sealed unit with a fixed lens. I discovered that this is a well documented problem and the only solution is to return the camera to Germany for a replacement lens unit (which includes the sensor). It's then likely that the problem will persist as Ricoh have not been able to resolve the issue and it plagues the replacement units. I returned the camera as I've owned many sealed units and have never noticed dust on the sensors of those cameras.

Having had a Panny Lx3 for several years , which has been my everyday, everywhere camera, I bought a Canon 600D DSLR to shoot my sisters wedding, after falling in love with the results, but increasingly hating lugging a DSLR and lenses around, the DSLR has started gathering dust because of its impractical size, so after lusting after the Ricoh GR1s/r etc 35mm cameras for when I'm shooting film, the Ricoh GR (APS-C) is almost as close as I'm going to get to a full frame pocket stealth machine in digital form for now ( no doubt a full frame version will emerge in a few years) so after deciding to downsize to the Ricoh GR, I'm going to ditch the DSLR format, and while I may miss it for the flexibility of shoving a 135mm 2:8f or a 17mm or even a 50mm 1.4, my back isn't !
After giving the GR a test at another wedding, I feel confident that this is going to be a real workhorse, with it's fast lens and 28mm field of view, it caught the majority of shots I tried to get ( the ones I missed more more likely my fault) and it's great fx range gives some really fantastic, and not gimmicky film processes, the B&W and cross-process got some serious use, and the high contrast B&W will give lovers of Daido Moriyama a taste of his signature look!
The high ISO shots aren't brilliant, they're ok in colour, but in B&W they give a real filmic grain, something that I love, so already, I'm happy !
While I've only used it for a one full day, and that is a full 12hrs travelling from London to Paris, then on to a wedding and use indoors, outdoors, with flash etc... I'm really happy with the versatility and power of this camera, it really is small, and fitted in the jacket or pocket of my slim fitted suit! It's also very, very well made, works right out of the box ( after a charge of course!) and it's very easy to understand...
So, a massive thumbs up from me !

Hello everyone, I'm going to review this little camera since there is no one does it on Amazon. Well, first of all, I am a photo bug that love street and landscape photography, I have number of full frame DSLRs, and some heavy lenses; however since once I brought all of my gears to go on a trip to Thailand, I understood that making "good" photos are not an easy job, physically. Then I decided not to bring too many heavy gears when I go travelling.
Alright, lets talk about this camera, which is our main topic. You might heard about Ricoh's GR series cameras since the film photographers' era; GR series are famous of its compact size, good handling and professional control functions. For this specific camera, GR Digital IV, it has the 28mm wide angle prime lens on it, with f/1.9 maximum aperture and image stabilization, very convenient for not only low-light condition, but also creating shallow Bokeh. However, GRD IV only gets a small 1/1.7 CCD sensor in it, bigger sensor literally means better image quality. About this point, different people may have different idea. So personally, I would not recommend to beginner to get it in this price range, for whom many Mirrorless cameras and entry-level DSLRs could be more suitable. But I would highly recommend to the ones who are looking for a compact alternative of heavy cameras for specific purposes, like me myself.
GRD IV has many interesting features such as many custom functions allow you to create a comfortable control system; two multi-function dials, number of custom buttons, a M-A-S-P dial with three custom-mode, also variety of pictures effects. The external button layout is nice and neat, no superfluous design. Superior build quality, you will know where your money goes when you hold it in your hands. Also, Ricoh offers us different accessories like lens hood, wide angle attached lens, viewfinders and cases, you might wanna get some for your GRD IV.
Overall I am happy to give a five-star rating to this camera, for the features that I introduced to you, also I will update my review and some pictures taken by it. Thanks for reading.

I've been using this camera for two days, everything is going well, and I found out this little camera is extremely good at taking macro shots, your lens can actually touch the subject and still able to focus! I have taken several macros in Raw files, they turned out very nice, sharp and beautiful Bokeh...
Also, the mode "My sense" actually got more interesting in-camera processing, such as long exposure for taking star tracks, high dynamic rage shots, all done in camera. However I haven't tried them out yet, I'm gonna find a good day to take some shots at night using those interesting features. They are many different combinations in My modes (you have three my modes on the M-A-S-P dial). For examples, I like to shoot in RAW, however when you are wondering to use the in camera pre-set like Hi-contrast, B&W, Hi-pass etc, you can only shoot in JPEG, RAW files would not have anything else other than original image information. In this case I set the MY1, MY3, MY3 modes into different JPEG modes, with different pre-set combinations, different metering and focusing mode, very convenience! If I want to shoot RAW, I can just turn the dial to M-A-S-P, other than that I use "My modes" to shot interesting JPEG pictures. Since the in-camera processes are so decent, it saves my time to do the post process for the snap shots.
Simply saying I found this camera is such a fun toy to play, easy and amazing, and nice handling like DSLRs, professional point&shoot!

The GR is about half the price of the x100s, and as soon as it's in your hands you know why.
All the switches, dials, etc. feel as wobbly bits. Maybe some of you remember "disposable" cameras, and once you took a photo you had to spin that plastic dial with your thumb for the next frame. The front right dial of the camera, controlled by the index finger of your right hand, feels exactly like that: very "toy-like" or "juvenile" as does the jog dial. When manipulating the controls you feel like you don't want to push or press too hard or you might break them.
I'm not sure why reviewers call this camera "durable" or "solid" when it's not really that way at all.
Image quality is above average due to the sensor, though not as good (in my opinion) as the x100s with considerably more noise once you hit 1600. With the x100s I can shoot 3200 without worrying about it. Not so with the GR.
There's also this funny business about the GR automatically setting ISO in TAv mode to ridiculously atmospheric levels, like 6400 without any justification.
The one area where the GR may outshine the x100s is in RAW conversion to black and white. Awesome detail in the GR's RAW files.
But in the end, for me, the GR stands for a Great piece of Rubbish. It is basically a nice big sensor in a disposable body. Maybe that's what it's come to.

I own a Sony RX100 II and the Ricoh GR. After comparing the two I was set to return the Ricoh as the pictures from the Sony looked better and sharper under large magnification. Turns out the JPEG engine in the Ricoh is not so good. The Sony's pictures shot in Raw and JPEG look very good. The Ricoh produces excellent raw images but the JPEG's are definitely not as good. So in raw mode the Ricoh takes significantly better pictures than the Sony, no doubt due to it's much larger sensor. In JPEG mode however the Sony is better. When I want absolute best pictures in JPEG format I now shoot with the Ricoh in raw mode, import into iPhoto then export them into JPEG mode. The conversion process via iPhoto export provides excellent results. I'm sure a separate raw converter would work even better with more editing options. The Ricoh does come with Silkypix LE software which I assume offers raw conversion. I generally avoid loading other software to keep my computer uncluttered.
Finally one important point. The Ricoh GR does not have image stabilization. In low light it is harder to get a clear picture than with the Sony which has stabilization.

Loving this camera so far... I like it being so compact and produces good images. The raw files are great when I edit them in LR. Been taking it to some casual trip and I don't have to lug my huge 5DM3 with the lens in it. I also got the EyeFi SD so I could post the images I like in FB or Instagram. Pictures are 100x better than my smartphone camera. Getting more likes (LOL) with better composition and sharpness.
The only thing I'm observing is sometimes I've tried to make changes in the settings and it does not take effect until I re-boot the camera. Like when I try to change the settings of the ISO to only up to 3200 max (from 1600), it would still be at 1600 - until I had to reboot it.
Still - I got the camera for the images and so far I'm really happy with this. Don't hesitate to get it if you are williing to invest in good pictures in a small package!

Are you a professional photographer or an enthusiast? If yes, then please stop reading this review (right now!), as it is not written for you. All others, please continue…..
Are you coming from a point and shoot camera? Are you looking for a camera that is good but will not break the bank? If you answered YES to either of these questions then this is the camera for you. It is a small camera with a lot of power.
Throughout this review, I will write about this camera’s:
compact size, how this camera has a fixed focal length of 28 mm, how to add a focal length of 35 mm and 47mm; Firmware updates, built in effects, outputs in RAW and JPEG, crazy sharp images - even in AUTO, histogram display, LCD expectations, Silkypix

I have to say that I find this camera is anything but expert. Very disappointed and its only saving grace is that it imprints the date and time on each picture. The saving of RAW files with the JPG version is a bit of a gimmick to be honest.
I got this camera as a backup or emergency camera for my SLR holdall. Whilst the construction is 'sturdy' the quality of the pictures and the auto-focus, leaves alot to be desired. Might I suggest you get a TZ from Panny - it won't disappoint.

I bought the Ricoh GR for street photography. It works great. The Snap function is very helpful. In street photography you do not have the time to center the subject, so the Snap function uses the focus distance you set and takes the photo. Also the subject tracking is another great feature. It is very quick in finding the moving object. It quiet, but not as quiet as the Fujifilm X20.

I love this camera. I've used many systems trying to find the perfect street photographer / versatile carry around camera, and this is it. As background, I've used Nikon D90, Canon 5D, Sony A850, Olympus 43, Panasonic GF-1, and this is my favorite camera yet. I am an advanced amateur photographer who has exhibited at local galleries.
Why you should buy the the GXR -
- 100% customizable interface. there is absolutely no need to dive into the menus.
- everything is at the "top level" meaning there is instant control - just spin the knob or push the button. There's no "hold this button down then turn this" For example: I shoot in aperture priority. here are the commands that are directly accessible without any need to hold down any button or dive into menus:
1) Aperture
2) ISO
3) exposure compensation
4) switch to Manual focus
5) enlarge image (focusing aid)
6) focus assist (peaking)
There are 5 additional, easily accessible and completely customizable functions that are just 1 button press away.
- snap focus mode with depth of field gauge. This is amazing, highly useful for street photography, and taking photos of fast-moving kids. there are 2 ways to do this:
1) when the camera is in AF mode, you can make it so that if the shutter button is fully pressed in 1 motion, the camera will focus at a pre-determined and user-adjustable distance (i.e. 2-meters). You can change this distance with 1 button press. if you use 1/2 press shutter, it is AF as usual.
2) when you are in snap focus or manual focus mode, there is a depth of field gauge that tells you the focus point and the DOF around that focus point.
- great LCD screen at 920k dots
- magnesium alloy build. the build quality is superb.
- you can hold the camera in 1 hand and operate almost all the controls. Also, the back of the camera has a large area where the thumb can rest and not accidentally touch any other button.
- the mode dial locks. This prevents accidentally changing the shooting mode.
Why you should get this lens module -
- Very sharp lens
- very versatile - 50mm standard lens, and also a macro lens
- the focus is good. The older firmware was not as good. The latest firmware is much better, and focus is much improved.
- the sensor is outstanding. clean to ISO 800, and ISO 1600 needs just a touch of NR in lightroom 3. the colors are fantastic and the image has a great look to it.
- one issue that DP review points out is that the raw file output is a bit soft - that's just how the processing is. It sharpens up perfectly with a bit of sharpening in LR3 - this reminds me of the files from the canon 5D. The jpg files are sharp and contrasty.
Now, here's a thought. I never understood why people bought the GXR until now:
1) the GXR balances sensor size to deliver a great shooting experience in a small form factor. want a large zoom? ok, get the 28-300 module. It's got a small sensor to keep the overall size small. If you want a 28-300 lens on full frame, buy the Canon 5D2 and 28-300 L for about $6000. You want uncompromising image quality? ok, get the 50mm or 28mm module w/ APSC module. The A12 APSC sensor is superb. clean to ISO 800. 1600 needs just a touch of NR in Lightroom.
2) why would the majority of people really need more than ISO 1600 and 12MP? this sensor and lens setup on the A12 modules is so good, I don't think anyone would need to update. i'll take the superior user interface any day.
Who should NOT get the GXR?
1) Sports photographers who need long, fast zoom lenses to shoot from the sidelines
2) night wedding photographers needing ISO 3200 and a 70-200 2.8 zoom
3) gear heads wanting to buy 12 lenses at 1,000 each, then wind up using just 2 of those.
4) people who need long tele lenses (i.e. bird photographers or animal photographers) or ultrawide lenses.
if you are in one of these groups, the GXR would not be a good 1 system camera, but would be a great 2nd system camera.
Now that the M mount is coming out, it's just getting better.

I bought the GR to complement my Canon 5D3. I had not been thrilled with the quality of other point-and-shoots that I'd owned, and I didn't want to invest in another interchangeable lens system.
The GR doesn't disappoint. It's a take-anywhere camera that gives me true DSLR quality. I can pixel peep at 100% and be satisfied by the sharpness of its images. In low-light, I feel the GR gives usable images up to ISO3200. The handling it great. It's so configurable and I've customized it so it mimics the 5D3's control system quite well, so switching back and forth between my cameras is easy for me.
It's not a beginner's camera though. There is no image stabilization. There's no zoom. It does best when you set it to manual settings instead of putting it into auto modes (in bright conditions, I set the shutter speed and aperture and have the camera use auto-ISO). The automatic flash metering is finicky (I manually set the flash's power and adjust my exposure manually for flash shots).
I have absolutely no regrets buying this camera. As a DSLR companion, it's exactly was I was looking for.

Even lighter than the regular version and comes with all the stuff you'd want for it. Ok, the case is pretty much useless, but the strap and hood/tube are nice and better than regular versions. Color and grip look/feel are nice too.
Lens and sensor are terrific and the one-handed control system is hard to beat. It's a very serious camera, make no mistake. There is just nothing better in this size/weight.
