The Ricoh GXR camera body, GRX + S10 lens kit and GRX + A16 lens kit are all listed as discontinued. The GXR system was announced in November 2009 but since the modules where the sensor is located are interchangeable, it remains to be seen if Ricoh will decide to upgrade the camera body.

The Ricoh GXR camera body is also no longer listed at Adorama.

Guest post: Multistitch

By PR admin | Published: April 23, 2013

In today's guest post Brian Hirschfeld will discuss Multistich - a simple device for 4x5 cameras that will help you generate large format digital files for commercial photography:

In my humble report from PDN PhotoPlus 2013 I had the opportunity to meet and briefly interview Myko, the creator of Multistitch. The YouTube video I did at this time gave a brief overview of the product's essential functions. Today, I am here to present you with a much more in-depth look at Multistitch and its functions.

On March 7th, I had the opportunity to further interview Myko the creator of Multistitch at Fotocare in NYC. Fotocare has many interesting events which I would highly-reccomend since they usually bring in unique products for demos which go beyond the standard Nikon or Canon rep coming to town. It was an especially miserable day out weather wise so if you were not able to make it, the video presentation covers this material. Also at the end of this article, there will be a link to a Dropbox folder with the sample images from this article.

At the 2013 P&E show in China Kodak had on display a new Pixpro mirrorless (interchangeable lens?) camera with a design similar to the Olympus PEN series. I could not find any additional information on this model. Few months ago JK Imaging got the rights to use the Kodak brand name on their cameras and they introduced the Kodak Pixpro S1 Micro Four Thirds mirrorless camera (more S-1 images available here):
