Most cameras don’t like to advertise what they can’t do, but with the Ricoh GR IV Monochrome, it’s right in the name: this camera can’t shoot in color.
Admittedly, when I picked up the Ricoh GR IV Monochrome, it was my first experience using a camera with a dedicated monochrome sensor, and I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. What I found was all of the compact design that the GR series is known for, but with less noise, a highly flexible dynamic range in post, and epic drama stemming from the built-in red filter.
