Here we are comparing two Ricoh cameras cameras with different body types: Ricoh GXR S10 24-72mm, which was introduced in March 2010 is a Advanced Mirrorless camera with a 10.0MP 1/1.7-inch sensor whereas Ricoh GR Digital IV, which was introduced in September 2011 is a Small Sensor Compact camera with a 10.0MP 1/1.7-inch sensor. There is 18 months difference between GXR S10 24-72mm F2.5-4.4 VC and GR Digital IV so we don't expect to see a huge technology difference between these two cameras but it would still give an advantage to younger GR Digital IV, especially in sensor tech.
Comparing an interchangeble lens camera to a fixed lens camera is a bit tricky but we will do our best to make this a fair comparison.
Here is a brief look at the main features of the Ricoh GXR S10 24-72mm and Ricoh GR Digital IV before getting into our more detailed comparison.
Let's read on in the following sections in order to better understand in detail how the Ricoh GXR S10 24-72mm and Ricoh GR Digital IV compare and hopefully end up with enough arguments to decide which one is better for you.
