Notes on 14 values — test conditions and caveats
- 1Ricoh GR IV, Launch price: Launch MSRP per the review; Ricoh's US store currently lists $1,599.95.
- 2Fujifilm X100VI, In-body image stabilization: 6.0 stops of shake compensation is achieved when using the LCD or EVF.
- 3Ricoh GR IV, In-body image stabilization: Ricoh's 6.0-stop rating applies at frame centre; periphery is rated 4.0 stops (CIPA 2024).
- 4Ricoh GR IV, Sensor type: The sensor is a back-illuminated (BSI) CMOS type; mapped to 'cmos' as no BSI option is listed.
- 5Ricoh GR IV, Aspect ratios: 3:2 is native to the 23.3 x 15.5 mm sensor; 4:3, 1:1 and 16:9 are in-camera crop modes.
- 6Ricoh GR IV, Continuous shooting (mechanical): The review cites 4 fps continuous without specifying shutter type.
- 7Ricoh GR IV, Max mechanical shutter speed: 1/4000 s requires F5.6 or a smaller aperture; at F2.8 the limit is 1/2500 s.
- 8Fujifilm X100VI, Pre-burst capture duration: Pre-shot buffers frames while the shutter is half-pressed (e.g., 20 frames at 20fps = 1 second), not a fixed seconds setting.
- 9Ricoh GR IV, AF subject detection: Only face/eye detection is offered; no animal or vehicle subject recognition is listed.
- 10Ricoh GR IV, Battery life: CIPA-rated at 23°C with a fully charged DB-120 battery.
- 11Ricoh GR IV, Memory card slots: Single microSD slot, plus 53 GB internal memory that cannot record to both at once.
- 12Fujifilm X100VI, Weather sealing: The camera body itself isn't weather-sealed; weather resistance requires the optional AR-X100 adapter ring and PRF-49 filter.
- 13Ricoh GR IV, USB charging & power delivery: Battery charges and camera draws power in-body over USB-C; fast charging needs a USB-PD adapter.
- 14Ricoh GR IV, HDMI port type: Video output is DisplayPort over USB-C; there is no HDMI connector.
Image quality and cropping room
The Fujifilm X100VI resolves 40.2 megapixels, against 25.74 from the Ricoh GR IV. That gap matters most if you crop hard or print large: extra pixels let you reframe after the fact and still hold detail. If you compose in camera and share online, the Ricoh's resolution is ample.
The GR IV counters on light-gathering range, reaching a native ISO maximum of 204,800 versus 12,800 on the X100VI. That is a headline number for shooting in near-darkness without flash, though high-ISO files trade detail for brightness. The X100VI's larger pixel count also means each pixel is collecting less light, so the two cameras diverge in low light.
Video
This is the widest gap on the page. The X100VI records 6K and does 4K at up to 59.94 fps in 10-bit HEVC or H.264 with a log profile. The Ricoh GR IV tops out at 1080p with H.264. If video matters at all, the Fujifilm is the only real option here.
The Ricoh's video limitation is a consequence of its design: a pocket camera built for stills shooters who occasionally need a clip. There is no advantage to weigh against this — the X100VI simply does more, and it costs you size and weight to get it.
Handling: viewfinder, screen and size
The X100VI has a 3.69M-dot electronic viewfinder with 0.66x magnification and a tilting 1.62M-dot rear screen. The GR IV has no viewfinder at all and a fixed 1.037M-dot screen. Shooting at eye level with a finder is steadier and easier in bright sun; the tilting panel helps at waist level and low angles.
The Ricoh wins outright on the carry question. It weighs 262 g against 521 g, and measures 109.4 x 61.1 x 32.7 mm against 128 x 74.8 x 55.3 mm. That is the difference between a jacket pocket and a bag. For street and everyday shooting, being there beats being capable.
Speed and autofocus
The X100VI shoots 11 fps mechanically and 13 fps electronically, with subject detection for humans, animals, birds, cars, trains, planes and motorcycles. The GR IV's cited continuous rate is 4 fps, and subject recognition covers humans only, by face and eye. Sports, wildlife and moving kids all favor the Fujifilm.
If your subjects hold still, neither camera's burst rate will decide anything. The Ricoh's autofocus is built around faces and eyes, which covers most street and travel work, and its single-shot pace is not what limits a careful shooter.
Battery, storage and sealing
The X100VI is rated for 320 shots per charge; the Ricoh GR IV for 250, CIPA-rated with a fully charged DB-120. Both charge and run over USB-C, and both have one card slot. The Ricoh adds 53 GB of internal memory — useful as an overflow, but it cannot record to internal and card simultaneously. Neither has a headphone jack.
On weather, the X100VI body is not sealed; resistance requires the optional AR-X100 adapter ring and PRF-49 filter. The GR IV's sealing is not published. Ricoh also does not publish an operating-temperature floor, while the Fujifilm is rated to 0 °C. Treat both as fair-weather cameras unless you add the Fujifilm accessories.
The Verdict
Buy the Fujifilm X100VI if you shoot video, want a viewfinder, or need resolution and subject-tracking speed. Buy the Ricoh GR IV if the camera has to live in a pocket and you shoot stills at street and travel distances. The X100VI is the more capable camera; the GR IV is the one you will actually have with you. Neither is weather-sealed out of the box.
