When a new Ricoh GR compact camera drops, it’s never about flashy overhauls or headline-grabbing megapixel bumps. It’s about refinement; those subtle, almost invisible changes that only a GR user truly understands. And that’s exactly why Samuel Lintaro’s latest video on his Samuel Streetlife YouTube channel grabbed my attention.
As a Ricoh GR ambassador, Samuel is one of the first people outside Ricoh to get hands-on with the GR IV. In his new video, he was not allowed to show any sample images; however, what he could share was the body changes, the new controls and, most intriguingly, the autofocus behavior. And that is enough to get any GR shooter’s pulse up a little.
