GR IV Monochrome overview

The Ricoh GR IV Monochrome is a 25.74 MP APS-C compact camera with a built-in lens, announced by Ricoh in January 2026.

Going by its spec sheet, it suits travel and everyday carry. It is a weaker pick for all-day shooting on one battery, paid jobs that need a backup card and eye-level shooting in bright sun.

New, it sells for A$2,464.15 to A$3,249 at the 4 stores we track in Australia that have it in stock. Over the last 90 days it has usually cost A$2,464 to A$2,500 new.

Worth comparing it with the Ricoh GR IV, Leica Q2 Monochrom and Fujifilm X100VI.

Low light & noise

3.8 µm pixels

25.74 MP on a aps-c sensor, ISO up to 409,600

Bigger pixels gather more light each, so they tend to show less noise at high ISO, but sensor design matters as much. For real noise at ISO 6400, these sites measure it:

How it stacks up

  • 25.74 MP — more resolution than 83% of the aps-c compact (fixed lens) cameras we list
  • 262 g — lighter than 67% of the aps-c compact (fixed lens) cameras we list
