Ricoh’s attempt at a limited edition camera (GR Digital III x Stussy)

Ricoh announced a “Stussy” limited edition version of its GR Digital III camera model created with US fashion brand manufacturer Stussy (hit that link for more pictures):

GR-DIGITAL-III-x-stussy

GR DIGITAL III x Stussy

Not a fan of limited edition cameras (nobody can do limited edition cameras better than Leica), but in this case I do like the GR DIGITAL III x Stussy because it’s matches the design colors of PhotoRumors.com 🙂

The Ricoh GR Digital III x Stussy will be available in February, 2010. Price is unknown at that point.
