By PR admin | Published: November 10, 2009

Update: I forgot to mention the Ricoh GXR accessories: viewfinder, external flash, neck strap, self-retaining lens cap, Ricoh TC-1 135mm tele conversion lens, Ricoh HA-3 Hood & adapter. It was just a week ago when the word about a new “slide-in” design broke out and only a month ago I reported about the upcoming mirrorless Ricoh. Today it’s all […]

Ricoh’s mirrorless, interchangeable lenses camera – coming up on November 10th?

By PR admin | Published: November 7, 2009

This rumor is brought to you by Fotosidan (Google translation) – the translation as aways is sketchy, but it seems that Ricoh has sent out event invitations for this Tuesday, November 10th: “… a unique new compact camera in the premium class. Ricoh is a long time in development the forefront of compact cameras with very […]

By PR admin | Published: November 2, 2009

This rumor is coming form a Chinese forum: the expected Ricoh’s EVIL €œ(Electronic Viewfinder with Interchangeable Lens)€ camera may have a “slide-in” interchangeable lens mount system and not a k-mount like previous speculated. This idea is not new and has been discussed before on dpreview. There is also a patent granted to Ricoh a while […]

Rumor: Ricoh is working on a compact camera based on Pentax’s K mount

By PR admin | Published: September 2, 2009

Ricoh is working on a compact camera based on Pentax’s K mount. It’s not clear if they would use the exact K mount or the M 4/3 approach by keeping the mount diameter in-tact and reducing the distance so that older K mount lenses still can be used via an adapter and a new series of new […]

RICOH GZ-1

By PR admin | Published: August 10, 2009
