Since today the Ricoh GR IV is available for preorder at B&H Photo, Adorama, Amazon, FotoErhardt, Calumet, Fotokoch, WexUK.
I talked to some major EU and US managers and preorder numbers for the Ricoh GR IV are huge! Sony will benefit from it as the new 25.7MP sensor is made by them. But again, I do hope Sony learns this lesson and will make a Sony RX100 with an APS-C sensor! You want this too right?

“Tried AIarty video enhancer and I am very impressed. It achieved better sharpness and denoise than other tools I use for video. It’s got a nice simple user interface that is easy to use. I just want it to work and don’t want a ton of sliders I have to change. I like the turbo mode which makes processing faster.”

The Ricoh GR IV is now available for preorder at B&H Photo, Adorama, Amazon, FotoErhardt, Calumet, Fotokoch, WexUK. While it’s not a Sony camera, it’s exactly the kind of compact I wish Sony would make. Just imagine an updated Sony RX100 with an APS-C sensor—it would fly off the shelves, just like the Ricoh has.
The GR III was already notoriously hard to find in stock, and now the GR IV improves on it in nearly every way—packed into an even smaller body.
What makes the Ricoh so special? It’s the only truly pocketable premium fixed-lens camera on the market. In comparison, the Fujifilm X100VI and Sony RX1R III are significantly larger. And let’s not forget: the GR IV is also the most affordable option in its class.
Let’s hope Sony finally gives us a compact APS-C fixed-lens camera. The demand is clearly there.
The EISA Awards have been announced, naming the Sony A1 II as “Camera of the Year.” However, the awards remain controversial due to the organization’s close ties with the industry. With sponsorship from many of the winning brands, critics argue that the ever-expanding list of categories serves to ensure that each major company walks away with a prize.
Here are the winners:

Two photographers were invited by Sigma to test the new 200mm FE lens ahead of the release. Jeff Hargrove images and report can be seen here:
The lens’s outstanding image stabilization gave me confidence that the images would be perfectly sharp in the low-light conditions where I would normally require a tripod. It has certainly gained its place in my arsenal of portrait lenses.
Yang Sutie images and report can be seen here:
My landscape photography journey with the Sigma 200mm F2 DG OS | Sports lens was immensely rewarding. The lens performed flawlessly, capturing nature’s intricate details and fleeting moments of light and shadow.
Here are their videos:
