If you are following PhotoRumors, you probably remember my post from few weeks ago on the rumored Ricoh pixel/sensor shift technology that could be included in the upcoming Pentax full frame DSLR camera. Imaging-resource posted some more information on this topic – apparently (not confirmed yet) this new technology could be available to current cameras via a firmware […]
I will be offline next week – a perfect time to post the 2014 worst camera of the year award (see the last year’s award). Here are the contestants in no particular order and the poll: → Hasselblad Lunar limited edition camera ($10,000). → Another Hassy entry: the “Elite” Hasselblad HV camera ($11,995.00) → JK Imaging lens camera (Sony QX10/QX100 copycat). → Vivitar IU680 […]

While Hassleblad (H5D) and Olympus (E-M5 Mark II) have used similar solutions in their cameras, the Ricoh/Pentax implementation will be slightly different. This new “super-resolution” tech will be implemented in future Ricoh/Pentax cameras, […]
I already mentioned that in addition to the new full frame lenses and DSLR camera, Ricoh/Pentax will have more announcements for the CP+ show. One of the rumored possibility is a Ricoh GR replacement:
