The Ricoh GRIII is loved among an increasingly dwindling list of compact high-end cameras for its pocketable, discrete design. But the original variation of the compact camera turns six in just a few weeks – a key anniversary that’s fueling a rumor wildfire about a potential Ricoh GR IV.
Ricoh hasn’t shared hints on the compact outside of an interview last year with one of the compact camera’s designers that could be interpreted hundreds of different ways. But a number of unsubstantiated rumors are emerging about the latest in the series. Some platforms are calling for an update to the compact to come sometime in 2025 with updated autofocus and battery life. Others are insisting that the camera won’t even be called the GR IV.
