Buying call

Buy the GR IV if you want the best pocket camera for street photography: reviewers praised its exceptional image quality, redesigned 28mm lens, faster autofocus, improved stabilization, lightning-fast startup, bigger battery and new internal storage in a tiny body. Skip it for video, which is limited to 1080p. It's only a modest update over the GR III, isn't weather-sealed, has no flash and uses a fiddly microSD slot.
