Great video! My concept of an ultimate GR: - add an electronic interface to the hot shoe for an external EVF with small contact pins, so the body without the EVF can look identical as the previous GR's - instead of a tilt screen, introduce an external miniature waist level(!) viefinder with high nit OLED for the hot shoe, wich sits nearly flush to the top plate - "solid state" construction with no collapsable lens barrel and internal focusing for state of the art fast AF and absolute dust and weather proof construction - full electronic shutter with high flash sync, so that no mechanical shutter is needed at all - Quad-Bayer Sensor with 50 to 100 million pixels or even more, with downsampled 20mp DNG files as standard, but possibility to "zoom" via crop - add a multi purpose ring with "focus tab" for zooming (cropping) or focusing stepless with absolute (!) values, not with relative positioning - add Pentaxes pixel shift technology with anti moire simulation, bayer pattern compensation etc. - perhaps make it a 1" sensor for even more compactness like the GR Digital - internal flash, even if it's only LED

Because the GR as it is is basically perfect, they don't need to change the form factor but they can still offer a very nice VF that ppl can buy if they want/need it and just leave it if they want the 'pure' GR.

Samuel, on your suggestion on 700 € price tag for GR EVF - what are you smoking? Just to put the EVF in proportions to camera price, in 2015 I paid for my brand new GRII 600 €... Even compared to current GRIII price of 1200 € -> the EVF is ca. 60% of the camera + lens price, way too much. The Leica Visoflex OVF price is actually a very reasonable fraction compared to Leica M body + lens price.

Keep it simple. Improve the buttons that are a little mushy, better battery life, and flip up screen with better contrast and resolution. I agree with the improvement of the processor to make it snappier without the long black screen, but that's it. Instead of an EVF I'd invest in a system to insert filters (ND, diffusion, etc) not in the front with the adapter that make it bulky, but in a fashion like the Canon EF to RF adapter that allows you to slip them in by the side. This way every GR would/could be ND or HDF and they still would fit in the pocket.

An EVF would be great, although like Samuel, I'm used to using the screen on my GR3. It certainly is trickier though in bright sunshine to see what's on screen, get perfect framing and not miss small details. But using the LCD, holding it further out in front of you with your arm is useful as it means the lens gets even closer to the subject that you might not do using a viewfinder. Personally I'd prefer a built in pop up EVF like the Sony cameras, because I use the LightPix Labs FlashQ Q20 ll pretty much all the time and the trigger already uses the hotshoe.

These are the main features I would like to see on the next Ricoh GR even if that would increase a bit the size of the camera which would not be a big deal for me: - 40mp sensor - new image processor with improved low light performance - a fixed compact prime lens which is already out that doesn't' suck any dust because there is no lens to retract. - new film simulations - a better compensation of highlights which is currently not so great on the Ricoh GR III - a tiny flash mostly for daytime photography - an improved manual mode which allows to change shutter speed and aperture more quickly and easily than it is now - weather sealed body. I don't care if the camera would end up being a bit bigger. Same sensor and small improvements would be a total disappointment.

A possibility is to have a built-in range finder-style viewfinder and leave the hot shoe for flash and/or EVF. The megapixel upgrade, if it is part of GR IV, would be simply a marketing move to meet the current consumer trend, but if Ricoh does do that, the cost might be considerably higher because logically, a more powerful processor/sensor will be needed.

I also don’t want the GR4 to be bigger but if they could make it a little thicker and it adds weather resistance since the lens wouldn’t have to move as much I would love that if nothing else was updated. Also, If losing Macro capabilities would help make that a reality then I’d be okay losing that too. I like having it but it’s not all that frequently used at least for me.

I agree with you regarding an EVF. I live in a very sunny region of the US and there have been so many times I couldn't see the screen due to glare. I thought about getting one of the optical viewfinders but didn't because of some the issues you mentioned. And the cost. Or a tilt screen could work if it's made well. I do disagree on size and think the GR III is a bit small. I have large hands and like the size of the GR II better. I was always hitting the exposure compensation button until I got a thumb grip. So if you add an EVF, maybe Ricoh needs to make a thumb grip that fits in the hot shoe and has a slot that the EVF could fit in. Thanks for the video!

hot shoe powered optical viewfinder is a good idea, with overlay frame lines, parallax, focus box, exposure values etc. Small accessory hot shoe powered TTL flash like the Leica D-Lux 8 would be good. Better AF. Keep body design the same.

Camera was baked a few months ago. You might get some firmware tweaks.
