Re: New crazy Ricoh system


I\'m pretty sure there was a Nikon too but I can\'t find it. Maybe it was only a prototype that never got released. Here\'s is the Minolta of the same basic concept:



http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/D15K/15KA.HTM




    \"The Minolta Dimage EX Zoom 1500 (phew! - referred to from now onwards as the EX1500) is actually two (and in the future maybe more) cameras in disguise, the most distinguising and unique feature of this camera is the detachable lens/CCD/viewfinder assembly (the black right hand quarter in the image shown).

    It can currently be purchased in two guises, the more popular 1500 Zoom (a 38mm to 105 mm lens) and the 1500 Wide (a 28mm non-zoom lens). Alternatively you can purchase the wide \"add-on lens\" at around US$350, giving you 28mm and 38mm to 105mm.

    There is also an optional 1.5m extension cable which allows you to use the lens/CCD assembly remotely from the body. And an external flash accessory which fits between the body and the lens assembly giving the camera flash hot-shoe.




These guys made the connection... and they review the the Ricoh as well here: http://www.photoclubalpha.com/2009/11/10/ricoh-start-where-the-dimage-ex-1500-left-off/
