Storage: internal memory approx. 53 GB, plus microSD \/ microSDHC \/ microSDXC conforming to UHS-I. Movie: MPEG-4 AVC \/ H.264 MOV, Full HD 1920\u00d71080 at 60p \/ 30p \/ 24p; clip stops at 25 minutes or 4 GB, or if the body overheats. USB-C: charge \/ MTP \/ DisplayPort. Battery DB-120, 250 stills CIPA, ~240 min playback. 262 g with battery and card. FAQ (Sept 2025): slot is microSD in size; UHS-I on HC \/ XC; <em>maximum transfer speed of the UHS-I standard is 104 MB\/s<\/em>. Tested cards: Kioxia (Toshiba) and SanDisk \u2014 microSDHC to 32 GB, microSDXC to 1 TB. Video recommendation: Speed Class 6 or higher. Format a new or computer-used card in the camera. You can record to the 53 GB body with no card inserted. Recording destination: Internal Memory Priority or Memory Card Priority.<\/li>\n  <li><strong>53 GB changes the job; 60p sits on Class 10, not on V90:<\/strong> Ricoh\u2019s own storage table: 53 GB holds 995 RAW or 774 RAW+JPEG at 26 MP 3:2, or 3,498 JPEG L; 64 GB holds 1,117 \/ 870 \/ 3,929.

The printed \u201cClass 6 or higher\u201d is the legal minimum; 60p is why V30 is the cheap default and Ultra is Value, not Overall. A 4 GB clip cap means 60p will hit the file limit before 25 minutes. UHS-II \/ V90 \/ Extreme PRO do not raise the 104 MB\/s bus Ricoh printed. The DB-120 is 250 CIPA frames \u2014 four cells to fill the internal RAW count \u2014 so a 1 TB card is a tested ceiling, not a day-one kit.<\/li>\n  <li><strong>The box you actually buy:<\/strong> A dedicated microSDXC, 64 or 128 GB, UHS-I, Class 10 minimum (V30 if 60p matters), formatted in the GR IV. Extreme 128 GB. Ultra 128 GB. Ultra 64 GB if the body already holds the walk. Kioxia Exceria \/ Exceria Plus 128 GB if you want the other name on Ricoh\u2019s tested list. Skip Extreme PRO and any UHS-II microSD as the default. Skip the GR III full-size SD. Skip 2 TB until Ricoh extends the tested table past 1 TB.

Ricoh: about 53 GB of built-in memory; you can record without a microSD. FAQ first-use steps say the same. A card is overflow and a second destination, not a requirement to fire the shutter.<\/p><\/div>\n  <div class=\"faq-item\"><h3>Will my GR III \/ GR IIIx SD cards work?<\/h3><p>No. The GR IV slot is microSD. Full-size SD from the GR III will not go in. There is no adapter path that makes that a good idea. Buy a microSDXC and format it in this body.<\/p><\/div>\n  <div class=\"faq-item\"><h3>Do I need a UHS-II or V90 card?<\/h3><p>No. Ricoh: UHS-I, 104 MB\/s ceiling. Video recommendation is Class 6 or higher. 1080\/60p on their capacity table sits near a Class 10 \/ U1 floor; V30 is plenty. V90 \/ UHS-II is unused bus.<\/p><\/div>\n  <div class=\"faq-item\"><h3>Is 2 TB safe? Ricoh tested what?<\/h3><p>As of September 2025, Ricoh\u2019s compatibility note is Kioxia and SanDisk microSDXC <em>up to 1 TB<\/em>. \u201cTested\u201d is not a warranty. Do not treat 2 TB as the published max.<\/p><\/div>\n  <div class=\"faq-item\"><h3>Should I format the card in the camera?<\/h3><p>Yes. FAQ: new cards, or cards that lived in a computer, get formatted in the GR IV. That erase is complete. Pick Internal Memory Priority or Memory Card Priority after.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<h2>Final Verdict<\/h2>\n<div class=\"conclusion-module verdict-box\">\n  <div class=\"verdict-picks\">\n  <div class=\"verdict-item\">\n  <span class=\"verdict-label\">\ud83c\udfc6 Best Overall:<\/span>\n  <div class=\"verdict-product\"><strong>SanDisk Extreme 128GB<\/strong> <span class=\"verdict-reason\">\u2013 UHS-I V30 overflow, twice the 53 GB body, tested brand.<\/span><\/div>\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/s?k=SanDisk+Extreme+128GB+microSDXC&#038;tag=e6890-20&#038;linkCode=osi\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"verdict-btn\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Buy Now<\/a>\n  <\/div>\n  <div class=\"verdict-item\">\n  <span class=\"verdict-label\">\ud83d\udc8e Best Value:<\/span>\n  <div class=\"verdict-product\"><strong>SanDisk Ultra 128GB<\/strong> <span class=\"verdict-reason\">\u2013 Same 128 GB at Class 10 for JPEG and 30p.<\/span><\/div>\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/s?k=SanDisk+Ultra+128GB+microSDXC&#038;tag=e6890-20&#038;linkCode=osi\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"verdict-btn\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Buy Now<\/a>\n  <\/div>\n  <div class=\"verdict-item\">\n  <span class=\"verdict-label\">\ud83d\udcb0 Budget Pick:<\/span>\n  <div class=\"verdict-product\"><strong>SanDisk Ultra 64GB<\/strong> <span class=\"verdict-reason\">\u2013 Ricoh\u2019s 64 GB column.
