Uses the GR IV ten times more than their X-E5; great lens, though menus and AF are quirky.

“I use the GR 10x as much as the XE5; the lens on the GR is great, as good as any Fuji pancake”

Bought the GR IV as a daily carry for its size and likes everything except weaker low light than their Fujis.

“It’s my daily carry because of the size. I like everything about it but low light performance is a few steps down from Fuji.”

Had the GR IV for nearly a year; it takes nice photos but they didn't want a pocket camera competing with their bigger cameras.

Uses a Ricoh GR IV for fun, but it doesn't handle low light well.

“I have a ricoh gr iv which is apsc, I use it for fun and the low light situations are not well handled.”

Added a GR IV to their X-T5 and finds it the only truly pocketable camera with Fuji-level quality, with excellent RAW files.

“I added Ricoh GRIV. I think it’s the only camera that is truly pocketable with Fuji quality.”

Likes the GR IV so much they sold their X100VI; it's compact and light at under 300g, with very good image quality.

“I have a GR IV, and I like it so much I sold my X100VI.”

Bought a GR IV to carry instead of leaving their R6 at home and loves its filmic out-of-camera recipes, though images aren't pixel-perfect.

“I bought the Ricoh gr4 because of the size and I also really like the results im having.”

Really likes their GR IV for pocket carry, but its autofocus is very noticeably worse than their R8 and 28mm takes getting used to.

“I have GR IV. Really like it but the AF is very noticeably worse than the R8.”
