Interesting that the Ricoh on-line store is still offering the GXR and accessories (at full list price, naturally).  I wonder what would happen if someone ordered from it!

My apologies for the grammatical errors in my post.  The very tiny print using this system to make entries using my iPad late at night are the cause.  IMO the new GR, which may well turn out to be...

Has anyone noticed how similar the GR is to the GXR in appearance and controls?  No module of course, but GXR DNA is definitely in this camera.

I use my GXR exclusively with the M mount.  Over the weekend I used a nice, but old, Canon FD 200mm macro lens with an appropriate adapter.  I mounted the lens on a sturdy tripod using its built in...

The future of the consumer camera market is in the mirrorless space with mobile connectivity via bluetooth.  Pentax and Ricoh are missing an advanced ML camera.  The pooorly designed, K-01, missing...

I understand the logic of longtime Ricoh camera users--it's familiar, they like the Ricoh feel and UI, and its comforting, even if its not the best camera or value for the money.  My father was a...

Rondom: I don't understand what point you are making, please elaborate.

Ad hominem attacks aside, looking at the rumored specs of the new GR makes me wonder why Ricoh could rationally expect consumers to be interested in a slow fixed lens, APS-C sensor camera in a...

I found the rumor about the new Sony 7n  with (among other unknown advances) a 360 million pixel built in viewfinder much more interesting than the possibility that Ricoh is going to come out with...

Why does she look so unhappy?  Just exactly what were you doing to that expensive Leica to make her so stressed out?

There have been some early complaints about shutter lag when using the EVF.  Did you notice any issues?  Thanks for the report.

I appreciate the technical analysis regarding why some rangefinder lenses don't work with certain digital cameras and congratulate the writers on their evident expertise and engineering knowledge,...

I use my Leica lenses with a Ricoh GXR M mount, which has both live view and an EVF.  The battery life issue you mention is consistent with my experience with the GXR.  The live view and EVF must...

The rumor mill reports that a NEX 7N is on the way, presumably with a weak or no AA filter--still APS C and reportedly improved peaking. That may be an interesting alternative to the GXR M.

As a change of pace, here are my contributions to start a new thread.   All with GXR M and 50mm Summicron.Yesterday it rained.

Thanks, Godfrey.  Your opinions and compliments are appreciated.

I think you are missing the point.   Facts seem to point to the total absence of any further development of the GXR, so there seems little likelihood that Ricoh is going to develop a new module of...

Many users adopted the GXR because of the M module, including me.  Now that the GXR has become a "system" of aging components and no further development, what's next?  The 3/4s standard seems...

DP seems to think that Ricoh may replace the K-01 with a new K mount module for the GXR.  That makes some sense and would keep the GXR alive for awhile longer --provided it had a modern sensor. It...
