Expect the new Ricoh GR IV camera to be out of stock for the next 12 months, maybe even longer

By admin | Published: August 21, 2025



I spoke with several retailers today, and despite the significant price increase, the number of Ricoh GR IV camera pre-orders was nearing that of the Fuji X100VI. Expect the new Ricoh GR IV camera to be out of stock for at least the next 12 months, possibly longer. I am sure the official statement of delivery delays will come out very soon. The first GR IV batch will start shipping in mid-September. For pre-orders and availability, check the links below:

I would not pre-order this camera from Amazon because they are known for canceling orders after a few months of waiting for inventory.
