Ricoh GXR interchangeable unit camera:
Point and shoot for a pro?
Ricoh GXR camera
Eventually Ricoh has unveiled its first digital system camera: GRX. This is a quite unusual camera, without shutter and sensor in a camera body . You ask me how?
Ricoh decide to integrated everything into the lens! What the idea! 🙂
Ricoh Lens inside
Think about this:Â you can have several lenses each with a different sensor size, with and without low pass filter, different dynamic range, etc.. Sounds very promising, especially if you have enough money to buy such lenses.
