Ricoh GR IV vs Alternatives - Click for larger image
Ricoh GR IV looks set to be one of the best-selling fixed-lens compact cameras, much like the GR III. The problem is availability. It has been backordered since launch, and my B&H Photo order from August 20 is still unfulfilled. If you do not want to wait, check our Top 10 most popular cameras that readers compare with the GR IV. You might decide to go with one of those instead. Hint: One big option is the Fujifilm X100VI that just got available both in Silver and Black today!
