When I saw this on the rumor sites I realized I really don't have a need for an upgraded GR unless the lens gets wider, longer, or faster.


Agreed; as said many times by others, a Sigma DP3m like GR would be really great. I bet Ricoh could design a very good small 50 mm lens.

Is a FF sensor always needed or desirable? Is a re-vamp invariable? Not so sure, especially if cost is a consideration. For example, take a look at Fuji and its 16MP sensor; they have packaged it in a hundred ways. Still the same after several years. The GR remains a fantastic camera, with incomparable controls, great ergonomics, solid build and capable of producing startlingly great results. For me, its 28mm equivalent lens has negated the need for an M lens of that FL. My MM + 50 'Lux along with the GR are a great travel duo. The only thing I would want in a GR is an EVF. Other than that, it's perfect as is.

Looks like Ricoh spent a week tops on this "upgrade" and sent it out the door.



Dear rattymouse,

Sorry, but we had to get back to the course on the 11th to finish our workshop - Rory was waiting.

Yours faithfully,

Ricoh.

Ricoh already cut the price to $696. Both, Adorama and B&H accept preorders.
