This is The Digital Story Podcast 1,014, August 26, 2025. Today's theme is, "Ricoh GR IV, More than Meets the Eye." I'm Derrick Story.

Opening Monologue

$1,496 seems a lot to pay for a compact camera, that is, until you realize what everyone else will be charging for their products starting in September. So then we go to specs. Is this enough of an upgrade to warrant the price? I think it is, and will explain why in today's TDS Photography Podcast. I hope you enjoy the show.

Ricoh GR IV, More than Meets the Eye

Before I starting researching the Ricoh GR IV, I was initially underwhelmed by its specs compared to the super-popular GR III. But as I began to dig into the decisions that Ricoh made regarding the update, I found myself impressed by their willingness to listen to customers and address those requests.

The GR IV is a very thoughtful camera, unique in its class, and refined with little touches that add up to a big upgrade. The best way to illustrate that is to review its highlight features.

• 25.7MP APS-C BSI CMOS Sensor with GR Engine 7 processor - the back-illuminated design for cleaner image quality and reduced noise. This sensor pairs with the updated GR ENGINE 7 processor that helps to achieve a full stop better low-light performance along with a faster 0.6-sec startup time, quicker focusing performance, up to ISO 204800, and the same versatile 14-bit DNG and JPEG recording as its predecessor.
• New 28mm f/2.8 Lens (Full-Frame Equiv.) - Plus, an integrated ND filter cuts down exposures by two stops, allowing the use of wider-than-normal aperture settings or slower shutter speeds for creative depth of field or motion blur effects. And yes, 35mm and 50mm crop modes.
• Improved AF and Low-Light Focusing - Aided by the new GR ENGINE 7 processing and a redesigned lens that's lighter in weight, AF performance is more responsive than its predecessor, focusing hunting is greatly reduced, and both face recognition and subject tracking have been improved. Additionally, pairing with the improved low-light image quality, low-light focusing is also faster and more accurate for shooting in difficult lighting conditions.
• 5-Axis 6-Stop Shake Reduction System - One more asset for low-light use, the GR IV has a new 5-axis Shake Reduction system that compensates for up to 6 stops of camera shake. Improving upon the 3-axis system of the previous generation, this new stabilization system compensates for more types of camera movement and is more effective at reducing the appearance of camera shake when shooting handheld.
• New DB-120 battery is used in the GR IV; this larger capacity battery now affords approximately 250 shots per charge compared to the 200 shots per charge of its predecessor. Plus, USB-C port permits in-camera battery charging and data transfer.
• 3.0" 1.04m-Dot Touchscreen LCD
• 53GB Built-In Memory & microSD Card Slot - Substantial internal storage could eliminate the need for memory card, especially in conjunction with the new mobile app, GR World.
• Top hot shoe supports using optional external flashes, such as the GF-2 External Flash that has a slim design to match the GR IV body and Auto Flash mode for simple, intuitive shooting with accurate auto exposure metering. This sleek flash has a guide number of 9.8' at ISO 100 and has an internal lithium-ion battery that can be recharged via USB-C.
• Improved dust control with redesigned lens barrel mechanism that draws in less dust and a coating on the sensor to repel it.

Lots of other goodies include Snap Priority mode ("Sn"), two new film simulations, Cinema Yellow and Cinema Green, and exposure compensation moves to a new vertical, Full HD 1080/60p Video Recording, plus-minus selector button in the top right corner of the camera (as in the GR II).

The new GR IV weighs only 9.2 oz including battery and media, a slight, .2 oz bump from the GR III but a significant improvement in efficiency considering the serious hardware upgrades and bigger battery.

I realize when folks first look at the listing for the GR IV, there's going to be some sticker shock. And rightly so. But this is a 9-ounce shirt-pocketable camera with an APS sensor, sharp lens, excellent film simulations, fast focusing, and 5-axis IBIS. It's literally an enthusiast camera that you can take anywhere.

I'm going to get my hands on one. More to come.

The Ricoh GR IV begins shipping on Sept. 12, 2025 for $1,496.95.

The Stoke Voltaics Nomad Cooking System ($219) has inspired me to prepare more fresh meals in camp. That's quite a statement from someone who, for years, shied away from all but the simplest cooking on the road.

There are a few reasons for this change of attitude. The Nomad System has overcome the barriers that took the fun out of campsite cooking. I'll start with those obstacles, then explain how they no longer exist with the Stoke Voltaics gear.

What I Once Hated About Camp Cooking

Wind was my number one nemesis for preparing meals. I tend to camp along the California Coast, and there always seems to be a breeze. I love the fresh air blowing off the Pacific Ocean. It's invigorating - until that is, it's time to cook.

Even with the wind guards up, it's difficult to shield the flame in breezy conditions. Plus my previous cooking system seemed more messy.

Wind is difficult to block and makes it nearly impossible to maintain even heating on a pan. Plus, it wastes fuel.

Then there was the bulk. Too many pans not integrated with each other wasn't efficient for packing or cleaning up after the meal. If I wanted to cook anything that required more than boiling water, it felt like I had to pack an entire box of just pots and pans.

My third obstacle was messy cleanup. Open-flame cooking often left black-soot residue on the outside of the pan, and the uneven heat caused food-burning on the inside. When washing dishes after the meal, I often wondered if the food was worth the extra effort.

How the Nomad Cooking System Overcame These Difficulties

Instead of cooking on an open flame, the Nomad Kit is all-electric. There's a base unit that couples with either the sizzle pan or boiling pot. The pieces fit together smartly and are very stable.

Wind is no longer a concern, and the entire cooking experience is more tidy.

If you've ever cooked with an induction system at home, the Stoke Voltaics approach will feel familiar. Once you turn on the system, the base heating unit (called a cooking reactor), immediately begins to warm the connected pan. A dial lights up on the base indicating the voltage you've set - 200 watts to 1,000 watts - and how long the unit has been turned on.

Wind has absolutely no effect on the transfer of heat from the cooking reactor to the pan. You can choose between the sizzling pan or the bubbling pot. Eighty percent of my meals are prepared in the sizzling pan. It measures 8.65" in diameter with a 3.5" high lip and holds up to 45 ounces. When preparing meals for one or two people, this pan can do it all.

The kit is also very compact. The base heating unit, sizzle pan, bubbling pot, detachable handle, lid, and power cord all fit in a carrying bag that's about the size of a volleyball.

Stoke Voltaics makes a custom carrying bag for this kit ($29), and I highly recommend it.

Once the meal is over, cleanup is a breeze. The outside of the pan remains pristine because there's no flame to cause soot-ash on the exterior. The interior surface has a robust non-stock coating applied to the high-grade aluminum alloy material. Combined with even heat distribution, that's maintained through smart technology, food rarely sticks and is easy to wipe out.

OXO Outdoor Wash, Dry, and Stow System.

Speaking of cleanup, I highly recommend the OXO Outdoor Wash, Dry & Stow System. With its built-in dish rack and twin tubs, tidying up the kitchen after a meal is a snap. To conserve water, I use a pot of soapy water in one tub and then rinse there as well. This works well with the Nomad kit because I don't want to immerse the components anyway. Fortunately, they clean up so easily, I don't have to.

Powering the Nomad Cooking System

I did a lot of testing at home with the Nomad to get a feel for how much power I had to bring for a 3-day, 2-night camping trip. I learned that most of my cooking began at the 600 watt setting, then tapered off to 400 watts. There is some fluctuation with electrical draw because it's a smart system that will adjust wattage on its own to maintain an even heat.

My home test kitchen to practice before hitting the road.

The math worked out to my needing a BLUETTI Solar Generator AC70 per day for cooking breakfast (including coffee), lunch, and dinner. The AC70 is a 768 Wh unit. I like it because it stores lots of power, but it isn't too heavy to carry around.

With two AC70s, I had plenty of juice for cooking and hot water. I also brought a Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 Power Station to run the BodegaCooler 38 Quart electric cooler. Additionally, I could power lighting and recharge mobile devices with the Jackery - plus it served as my backup if the Bluettis ran low.

Even though the power stations do take up some space in my VW ID.4, they are easier to pack than round propane tanks that bang around. They're also much cleaner.

Final Thoughts

Breakfast in the sizzle pan. All photos in this article by Derrick Story.

Both with my testing at home, and while camping, I had great success with the Stoke Voltaics Nomad Cooking System. In fact, I'm still using it after the trip because I like it so much.

All of the components are made of quality materials and feel long-haul durable. The design is good. I particularly like the removable handle that is both easy to use and sturdy.

I do have one suggestion for version 2: I would make the control dial bigger with an easier-to-read LCD screen. The current design works, but a larger display would definitely be better for this kit.

Some people have commented to me that the price seems high. I don't feel that way. This is a complete cooking system for $219 that includes the heating element, sizzle pan, cooking pot, lid, and handle. I do wish Stoke Voltaics included the travel carry case in the kit, instead of being an accessory, because I feel that it's necessary on the road.

Based on performance so far, and the quality materials, I'm predicting years of service from the Nomad. If you already have the power stations, and better yet, solar panels to go with them, you could run your kitchen off the grid indefinitely.

Highly recommended.

Tasty Food Shots on the Go

Here are the talking points for today's food photography segment.

• Lighting. More often than not, diffused lighting is best for main subject.
• Composition. A tightest crop is good, but I do prefer a little environment as well. I think it gives our food shots more character.
• White Balance. A tick on the warm side tends to make food look more appealing. If you're shooting in the shade, keep in mind that the WB will be quite bluish.
• Bold Colors. I like red utensils, colorful placemats, etc. They add much life and appeal to the image.
• Details Matter. As with all still life composition, every element in the frame needs to be accounted for - Labels facing forward, utensils well-placed, etc.

Opening Monologue

Photo software is like streaming services. We want just one, but somehow we end up with many. Lightroom, Capture One, ON1, Luminar, Photos, Nitro, DXO - They're all so good! Why can't my favorite shows all be on one service? Well, they're not, and your software isn't either. So we have to construct a workflow that balances the features we want with the software we can afford. And that's the first story on today's TDS Photography Podcast. I hope you enjoy the show.

There Is No Single Solution (when it comes to photo software)

Applying a LUT in Nitro.

I've been redesigning my photography workflow for 2025, and hopefully beyond. I want to use software that provides the things I need, such as robust importing that allows me to cull my pictures before uploading and great image editing tools. But there are also things that I want, such as the latest AI-powered tools.

I've learned through months of exploration and testing, that no one piece of software meets my needs or my desires. And I thought that you would get a kick out of my multi-brand approach to managing and editing my pictures.

Here's my current approach... (and this is not a recommendation!)

Photo Workflow 2025

Step 1 - Importing from SD Card - C1P
Import images off SD card via Capture One Pro to Photo Shoots 2025 directory on hard drive. This approach allows me to cull the images before I bring them into the computer. Plus C1P lets me rename the files upon import. Use the "Referenced File" approach that places the masters in the "Photo Shoots 2025" directory in the Pictures folder. They will be accessible to all image editing apps here.

Step 2 - Rate the Imported Pictures in Nitro - iCloud Workflow
Browse the imported pictures with Nitro, star-rate them, and preliminary editing if desired.
OR

Step 2 - Rate the Imported Pictures - Adobe CC Workflow
Star-rate pictures with Lightroom. The stars applied in LR are also recognized by Nitro for the iCloud workflow. (Lightroom is also good for general browsing of the Photo Shoots 2025 folder.)

Step 3 - Imaging Editing - 2 Choices
Depending on where the images will be backed up: Creative Cloud or iCloud, edit favorites with either Nitro/Photos or Lightroom. Since we're working with referenced files, I could edit a picture with different software if I want.

Nitro allows me to work with RAW files not recognized by Photos. It also allows me to apply RAW-specific adjustments. Once in Photos, I can also work with Editing Extensions such as Luminar Neo and ON1 Effects.

The Lightroom workflow provides access to their tools with the option of uploading favorites to Creative Cloud for further organizing and sharing.

Step 4 - Cloud Backup
Edited favorites should be backed up to the cloud - either Creative Cloud or iCloud.

Step 5 - Hard Drive Backup
The "Photo Shoots 2025" folder on the MacBook should be backed up to hard drives on a regular basis. This captures all of the pictures from all of the shoots, not just the edited favorites that go to the cloud.
