The Ricoh GR IV continues the GR tradition of putting an APS-C sensor inside a slim, pocketable body with a fixed wide-angle lens. Arriving in September 2025 as the successor to the GR III, it brings a new backside-illuminated 25.7MP sensor, the GR ENGINE 7 processor, a redesigned 18.3mm lens, stronger 5-axis shake reduction rated to 6 stops, quicker autofocus and 53GB of built-in storage alongside a microSD slot.

Who the Ricoh GR IV is for

Street photographers are the core audience. The GR IV has no viewfinder and no zoom, which keeps it thin enough to carry every day and quick to raise without drawing attention. Snap focus and the wide 28mm field of view reward people who shoot close to their subjects. Travellers who want better files than a phone, without the bulk of an interchangeable-lens system, also fit well. Anyone who needs serious video or telephoto reach should look elsewhere, since this camera is very much a stills tool.

What to check before buying a new Ricoh GR IV on eBay

Correct model: make sure the listing is for the GR IV and not a GR III, GR IIIx or a monochrome variant, since titles are often mixed up.
Battery type: the GR IV uses the DB-120 pack; a listing bundling older DB-110 batteries suggests a mix-up.
Region and warranty: ask whether the unit came through Ricoh’s US or Canadian distribution so warranty service is straightforward.
Return window: lens dust or a stuck lens cover are worth testing right away, so favour sellers offering returns.
