And more cameras landing in Ricoh's home turf - high end compact/mirrorless - almost by the day.

Ricoh developed this niche early on ... and where did it lead them? Are they better in optics or sensors or electronics or EVFs or LCDs? ... no. Are they better in UI? ... probably among the best.

But is that enough if lacking behind in most or all other competition parameters?
