It's aliveeee!! After three weeks with the Ricoh GR IV I can safely say that the "Pocket Rocker" still rips, but now with much better battery life, improved image quality, and more buttons (wahoo!).

Also! My merch is live, and I wanted to give all you Patreon folks a little discount on it too :) Use this link or code PATREONBUD for 15% off.

Here are some photos straight out of the Ricoh GR IV:

What do ya think??

Such good pics!! That focal length is surprisingly good for landscapes and portraits, which is so cool. Really wish it didn't cost a month's rent because this seems like the perfect "you're all set now" pocket camera. Time to rent!

Yeah 28mm is my favorite focal length. Photos look great! Did you miss not having an EVF?

im a hugggge 28mm fan. I also found myself using the crop feature a lot for 50mm shots. I didn't miss the EVF because with this camera I have gotten so used to it not being there from the jump. I would say 75% of the time with it I'm not even looking at the back screen, just shooting blind!

it's so so expensive! and the build quality isn't equal to that price.

Unless im doing a paid gig (headsets, interviews... etc) I shoot jpegs 👀👀

Yeah, I was so bummed when the paint on the hot shoe of my gr3x rubbed off in like a week... Incredibly handy to have around though. I'm so conflicted about whether to sell it or not...

I need to get out with my Sony EV-1 which also does not have an EVF. When I did street photos with my Panasonic G9, I found myself shooting from the chest inspite of the excellent EVF. At 24mm equivalent I could just aim at the scene and get the shot I wanted 80% of the time. I remember this video of Mark Cohen ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qcgEnC3bLY ) doing this. Actually, looks a lot like what you talked about doing with a flash. PS. got the merch! A t-shirt and a sticker for my journal!

yes! blind shooting is so fun with a wide lens. Cant wait to hear what you think of the merch!
