The 2015 body, and the odd one out in almost every respect. It takes a DB-65 battery — neither the DB-110 of the GR III/IIIx nor the DB-120 of the GR IV — and reaches 49mm filters through the GH-3 hood-and-adapter set rather than a GA adapter. It predates USB-C, so it charges and transfers over USB 2.0. Its internal memory is about 54MB, which is a rounding error rather than storage. Ricoh's specification sheet lists no image stabilisation, no ultrasonic dust removal and no AA filter simulator; those rows simply are not on the page, which is why they read as unconfirmed here rather than as a stated "none".
