Ricoh's compact cameras have seen significant success, driving up the company's market position, thanks to the 2025 release of the 25.7MP Ricoh GR IV with its 28mm equivalent lens. While the other camera in the range, the Ricoh GR III x with its 40mm equivalent lens, has not yet been updated, Ricoh has announced the development of a new model, the Ricoh GR IVx.
This camera boasts a redesigned 40mm F2.8 lens, featuring 8 elements in 6 groups, including 3 aspherical elements. Other updates include 5-axis sensor-shift shake reduction, which is an improvement over the 3-axis SR found in the GR IIIx, and 4K 30/24p video recording, a first for Ricoh GR cameras. The camera is expected to be released in winter 2026 with a price and final details yet to be announced.
However, Ricoh has confirmed that the Ricoh GR IIIx, IIIx HDF, and IIIx Urban Edition models will be discontinued in October 2026, so potential buyers should consider purchasing these models before then.
