Probably quite a bit later. Don't forget they released the A16 zoom module quite some time after the M module. The body was already ageing by the time the M module was released, and the sensor in...

There are a few new in box RD-1x cameras around, but you can buy them for much less. Epson's own Japanese site lists the camera as unavailable for...

This Information was already deduced by those willing to look at the clues objectively.  B&H has one GXR kit (with the A16 zoom) marked as "Discontinued" and Popflash now for many weeks effectively...

"new" member with 2 posts brings back to life a five month old thread on a topic which is no longer relevant. Bizarre.

They will announce the discontinuation of all Ricoh branded camera products. Just a guess.

Based on the description of the charging process you gave it sounded like the pack was indeed charging thus I was afraid it was your GXR but DOA GXRs are so rare I didn't want to go there. Good...

If you have access to a voltmeter, check the voltage. Be careful not to accidentally short two terminals. One terminal is +, one is =, and the third may be for temperature sensing.

There are such firms that work for industry but none acting on the behalf of the consumer as far as I know but haven't looked at this in quite some time. The U.S. military is a decent source of...

No li-ion charger (for standard LiCo or LiNiCo chemistry) should ever a) bring the cell(s) above 4.2V or b) continue to "trickle" charge once the cell(s) reach a full state of charge. A charger...

Another mentioned Nikon has had issues with their packs; like most major makers of lithium ion powered products, faulty cells or pack assemblies are an unfortunate but thankfully infrequent...

Godfrey didn't say that.  What the manufacturers do is certify their power packs in their chargers for use in their cameras. The makers are willing to warranty each component. All responsible...

If they are selling them for $6 and they are actually sold as being OEM Fujifilm packs, they are almost certainly forgeries and should be avoided like the plague. If they are being marketed as...

Panasonic (and its subsidiary Sanyo) are known in the lithium ion industry has having top notch products beyond reproach and even they suffer from safety recalls once in a while. There are a small...

Maybe someone in Japan is trying to figure out how to sell photocopiers to photographers.

I own both these lenses and certainly would take a trip with only these two. I've done trips carrying only a 35mm and not regretted it, but in that case I was carrying a rangefinder film camera or...

your theory is predicated on the belief that there will be further updates to the GXR line. I'm at the very best skeptical about this right now and if not couching my words I am pessimistic.

Agreed.Also agreed, although if there is one that could take the prize I'd give it to Sony for the 35/2 on the RX1. Really lovely rendering. But alas, not available as an interchangeable lens for...

That's my go-to kit 90% of the time.I'd make it a three lens kit if Sigma would produce a 24mm f/2 of the same quality and optical performance as the 35 Siggy.

I'm glad Henry's plays by the rules. It'll be interesting to see if anyone ordering from the U.S. or other countries ex Canada has to pay import fees/taxes. Your experience is similar to mine - as...

Excellent, good news for you. The sale prices are fantastic... wish I'd bought mine at these prices!
