Ricoh Imaging Announces RICOH GR IVx Currently Under Development
TOKYO, August 26, 2026 -- RICOH IMAGING COMPANY, LTD. is pleased to announce the development of the RICOH GR IVx, the latest model in the GR Series of high-end digital compact cameras.
The RICOH GR IVx will be equipped with a newly developed GR lens to further expand the expressive capabilities of the RICOH GR IV (launched in September 2025), which fully advances the fundamental concept behind the GR Series: incorporating the essential values of a camera, including high image quality, quick response, and portability. With a 40mm-equivalent focal length in the 35mm format, the RICOH GR IVx offers an angle of view close to the effective field of human vision. This distinct perspective, which differs from the 28mm-equivalent wide-angle lens of the RICOH GR IV, creates new possibilities for snapshot photography. The company will reveal the complete set of new functions with the official announcement.
With the availability of certain parts ending, production of the current RICOH GR IIIx, IIIx HDF, and IIIx Urban Edition models is expected to conclude later this year.
Release Timing: Winter 2026 or later (planned)
