Ricoh announces a new A16 24-85mm f/3.5-5.5 GXR unit

PR admin — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 06:48:09 +0000

Just few hours before the Penatx K-01 announcement, Ricoh released a new unit for their GXR system with a 16.2MP CMOS sensor and 24mm-85mm lens. Some sample images can be found here.

Tokyo, Japan, February 2, 2012—Ricoh Co., Ltd. (president and CEO: Shiro Kondo) today announced the development and release of RICOH LENS A16 24-85mm F3.5-5.5, the fifth camera unit in the GXR interchangeable unit camera system.

Introduced in December 2009, the GXR is a revolutionary interchangeable unit camera system in which lenses can be changed by mounting camera units that integrate lens, image sensor, and image processing engine into a single unit.

The new RICOH LENS A16 24-85mm F3.5-5.5 brings together a newly developed 24-85 mm wide-angle zoom lens, an APS-C size CMOS sensor, and the proven Smooth Imaging Engine IV to create a unit with high image quality, high power of expression, and high flexibility.

Main features of RICOH LENS A16 24-85mm F3.5-5.5:

Newly developed 24-85 mm wide-angle zoom lens with an APS-C size CMOS sensor with approximately 16.20 million pixels

This newly developed lens features a 9-group, 11-element configuration. The utilization of three double-sided aspherical lenses as well as high-refraction lenses effectively reduces various types of distortion across the entire zoom range. The result is high resolution and imaging power from edge to edge.
The configuration of nine rounded aperture blades enables both highly precise aperture settings and beautiful bokeh.
This camera unit features a 23.6 mm×15.7 mm (APS-C size) 16M CMOS sensor. In combination with the image processing engine Smooth Imaging Engine IV, this image sensor makes it possible to shoot high-quality images with smooth tonal gradations as well as low noise and high-resolution.

Diverse shooting functions and high operability

Dynamic range compensation reduces overexposure of highlights and underexposure of dark areas. For backlit and high-contrast scenes that cannot be handled with exposure compensation, doing the dynamic range compensation in specific portions of the image makes it possible to shoot the subject at a brightness level close to that seen by the naked eye.
ISO sensitivity can be set in 1EV or 1/3EV steps.
With the new ISO bracketing function, the photographer can shoot and record three images with different ISO sensitivities.
When the new function for maintaining the same shooting settings is set on, by keeping the shutter release button pressed halfway after taking a picture, the photographer can continue to shoot with the same settings (focus, exposure, white balance, etc.).
The function for recording a JPEG image simultaneously with the RAW image has been expanded so that it is now possible to record only the RAW image. This is suitable for a work flow based on the premise that image finishing is to be done on a PC after shooting. Since a JPEG file is not simultaneously recorded, this option is also useful when the photographer wants to increase the number of images which can be recorded on the memory card.
It is now possible to turn ON/OFF the white saturation display that shows areas where bright portions will be rendered white and where color shade gradations will be lost.
The tilt indicator function has been enhanced. In addition to the conventional horizontal indicator, this function can now also detect camera movement direction tilting.
Copyright information such as the photographer’s name can be entered and written to the image Exif data. The recorded information can be checked on the playback screen detailed information display.

Highly precise focusing possible

For the AF area size for spot AF, either normal or pinpoint can be selected.
A focus-assist function has been included in an effort to raise the accuracy of manual focusing. The photographer can select from two modes and check the focus by strengthening outlines and contrast.
The shooting screen can be magnified for convenience in focusing. The magnified area can be displayed in the center or across the entire screen. In addition, the image quality for 4x and 8x magnification has been further enhanced. The area to be magnified can be moved using the direction pad.
The power of expression that is a hallmark of the GXR series
Picture settings for image quality and color can be customized with nine levels for easy creation of a diverse range of images.
My Settings enables the settings for a wide range of shooting functions to be recorded in advance and specified in an instant when needed. For the setting storage, now six patterns can be stored in the body’s My Settings Box and six patterns can be stored in the SD card. This expands the world of photo expression by enabling GXR users to exchange their shooting settings.
B (bulb) and T (time) can now be selected as the shutter speed in manual exposure mode. With “B,” the exposure continues while the shutter release button is pressed, and with “T,” the shutter release button is pressed to start and end the exposure. For both, the exposure is forcibly ended when 180 seconds have elapsed.
New scene mode options have been added for the easy enjoyment of a wide range of photo expression. The five new options are soft focus, cross process, toy camera, miniaturize, and high contrast B&W. The photographer can create a unique image by just pressing the shutter release button.
An image flag function has been added to enable the quick display of specific images from among those in the camera. Up to 20 images can be flagged.
It is possible to shoot 1280 × 720 pixel HD movies.

New options added

A newly designed lens hood (LH-2) especially for this camera unit.
A lens cap (LC-3) that opens and closes simultaneously with the movement of the lens. It does not need to be removed when shooting.
A wrapping sheet (WS-1) that can wrap the GXR when the camera unit, external viewfinder, and other options are attached.

Some more Pentax rumors (full frame DSLR, mirrorless camera)

PR admin — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 16:50:30 +0000

The Pentax full frame DSLR and mAPS-C mirrorless camera rumors are back. I received several new tips on those products.

After it got acquired by Ricoh, Pentax is reportedly determined to provide a full range of cameras, including a new full frame DSLR and the upcoming K-01 APS-C mirrorless camera. A Ricoh representative recently said that they “will plug a gap in the market” in 2012. The full frame Pentax camera is rumored to be announced later in 2012 (either in May or for Photokina in September).

The new Pentax K-01 mirrorless camera is supposed to be build like a brick, literally - you should be able to place on a table in landscape or portrait position without a tripod. Pentax has said in the past that they like to do things differently:

"if we decide to do something in this respect has to be different, and it is not easy in the current context, to do something that is different and good…”

All Pentax FA lenses will work on the new K-01 with the exception of few models.

New Ricoh GXR body with rotating LCD, Pentax K-mount GXR unit

PR admin — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 17:58:59 +0000

Soem readers asked me why I did not cover Pentax in my CES coverage last week. The problem was that Pentax was part of the PMA@CES exhibition that was at a different location and was surprisingly quiet - there were only 3 people at the Pentax booth when I got there.

The Ricoh/Pentax news from CES (reported by AP) is that Ricoh may launch a new GXR body with variable-angle LCD and a Pentax K-mount GXR unit.

In another interview with Ephotozine, Pentax representative gave a hint about their rumored second mirrorless camera:

Q: What are the future plans for Pentax, is a new mirrorless camera on it's way?
A: 2012 is going to be a very exciting year, and that news is already out there, [referring to the mirrorless camera], although we can't go into details. Also we will be looking to grow strongly in the Digital SLR market.

Rumors about a second mirrorless camera from Pentax are back

PR admin — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 01:35:24 +0000

The website p3newsreviews reported that they spotted a "rugged appearing, possibly mirrorless, viewfinderless camera sporting what looked like a k-mount limited or pancake lens" at CES.

Rumors about a second mirrorless camera from Pentax has been circulating for over a year now. My guess is that the recent purchase by Ricoh changed the plans for that camera.

The new Ricoh 16MP 24-85mm GXR unit will have f/3.5-5.5 aperture

PR admin — Sun, 04 Dec 2011 18:02:07 +0000

According to Christian Sorega, who initially broke the news about the New Ricoh 16MP 24-85mm GXR unit, the aperture of the new lens will be f/3.5-5.5:

"As you can see in the above image it will feature a Sony 16 MP sensor and have a 24-85mm zoom with a f3.5-5.5 aperture and the lens will not be GR labelled. Further it should be relatively big as it will not collapse like the Olympus m4/3 kit zooms for example."

This product was also delayed as a result of the flooding in Thailand. The official announcement is expected to be on January 5th, sells should start on January 20th, 2012. The new unit will be on displayed during the PMA show in Las Vegas (January 10-13, 2012).

The latest patents from Olympus, Ricoh and Canon

PR admin — Fri, 02 Dec 2011 04:11:40 +0000

Patent 2011242520 from Olympus describes several different wide angle lenses: 8mm f/3.5 fisheye, 12mm f/1.8, 12mm f/2.8, 10mm f/2.8 and 12mm f/2.0:

Patent 2011239020 from Ricoh is for a GXR unit with image stabilization:

Patent 2011232461 filed by Canon in Japan is for calculating the flash shooting distance based on the color temperature. From the patent application:

With the strobe device used as a light source, the guide number had determined the flashing tube by main capacitor energy. Therefore, the operation and the display were able to do easily range of the sensitivity (gain) which is the film information of a camera, and the strobe light which becomes correct exposure according to a diaphragm of a lens. Therefore, since a user was made to know range before speed light photography, it was able to reduce that underexposure occurred in a taken image.

Canon patent 2011239063 illustrates a camera with a half mirror:

What else is new? (Ricoh CX6, Olympus LC-63A, Holga for iPhone, camera market share in Japan)

PR admin — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 12:52:23 +0000

Ricoh announces the CX6 compact digital camera featuring high-speed autofocus as fast as 0.1 seconds and zoom assist monitor for easier telephoto photography:

Tokyo, Japan, November 15, 2011—Ricoh Co., Ltd. (president and CEO: Shiro Kondo) today announced the development and release of the CX6, a new digital camera featuring a high magnification 10.7x (28-300 mm) optical wide-angle zoom lens that achieves even shorter autofocus (AF) times through the introduction of a new AF system.

With the adoption of a new system enhancing both the hardware and software of the hybrid AF system introduced on the CX5, the new CX6 achieves AF focusing times as fast as 0.1 seconds. You will be sure to capture that fleeting shutter chance.

The high-brightness LCD monitor is approximately 1.7 times brighter than　the previous model for better visibility outdoors. The CX6 also adds a function for automatic adjustment of brightness based on the level of brightness of the subject, and this make it possible to minimize the loss of visibility that can occur due to changes in the shooting environment. In addition, for telephoto shooting, the new zoom assist monitor function displays a small image on the LCD monitor so that you can always check the framing of the shot.

The new aperture/shutter-speed priority modes enable you to more richly express the atmosphere of the subject, and the snap movie function lets you more easily enjoy shooting movies. A release button especially for movies has also been added, and a wider range of functions (autofocus, zoom, etc.) are available for movie shooting.

The CX6 compact digital camera takes the design concept of “A tool you will want to use every day” another step forward. Available in three colors: Black, Silver, and Pink.

Ricoh is working on a new mirrorless camera developed by Pentax

PR admin — Sun, 18 Sep 2011 14:30:42 +0000

From the beginning of 2011, the rumors were that Pentax will announce two mirrorless cameras. As the months passed by, the chance of a second mirrorless system diminished, even though rumors continued to flow. My guess three weeks ago was that Ricoh's purchase of Pentax did put the plans for second mirrorless camera on hold.

Yesterday TMCNet published this unusual press release stating that Ricoh is working on a new mirrorless camera developed by Pentax:

Tokyo, Sept. 17 (Jiji Press)--Ricoh Co. is considering fully entering the mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera market in a bid to boost its digital camera operations, informed sources told Jiji Press Saturday.
A new mirrorless camera will be developed by Pentax Imaging Systems Co., which the Japanese office equipment maker will acquire on Oct. 1 to take over the Pentax brand, the sources said.
Mirrorless interchangeable-lens cameras, which are smaller and lighter than conventional single-lens reflex cameras, attract a wide range of consumers including young women.
A super compact mirrorless camera was rolled out under the Pentax brand in late August. But it was rather designed for beginners with a small image sensor, which converts light captured through lens into an electronic signal.
Equipped with a larger sensor, the new model will allow for a wide variety of photo styles, such as making out-of-focus areas in a shot much more blurry, the sources said.
Among other Japanese makers, Panasonic Corp. and Olympus Corp. are already offering mirrorless cameras featuring large sensors.
Ricoh will offer characteristic compact cameras under its own label, while trying to bring the Pentax brand on par with Nikon Corp. and Canon Inc. in interchangeable-lens cameras, Ricoh President Shiro Kondo said.
