Wide convertors are easier to do and give better quality so a 35mm lens with a 28mm convertor for the die-hards works ;-) I wonder if it possible to make a zoom convertor to work on a prime.

My main hope is that Ricoh don't put all the eggs into the Pentax and Theta basket and do continue to produce premium large sensor compacts. For the GR I hope what ever happens to it it remains ...

Manufacturers are slowing release cycles, and many manufacturers are bringing out something new for Photokina.

Exactly this, all this.  Not sure there would be many manufacturers brave enough to release this.  Sigma might be the only one.  Happy days if they did :-)

Yes, can't help day dreaming too sometimes. Odd situation where I want to buy a new cam, but there's none that make me go 'that's the one'. Sony close, but just too much a box of tricks for me, ...

There is something about these conversations that reminds me of the "What have the Romans ever done for us" sketch in Monty Python's "Life of Brian". If you've not seen this (you should) then ...

Good questions. Yes, several on here did, and validly so for their requirements. Do you think this is physically possible? FF, same speed lens, and same size?  I'd be impressed if it was.

More precisely: it is tiny pixels that cause issues, above a certain size their size is irrelevant. This border line on cameraphones sensors equates to a sensor around 10-12mp, on a FF sensor ...

The more elegant way is by having more efficient sensors, which recent designs do provide, and a faster lens. If there weren't improvements in sensor design to be made you wouldn't have an issue ...

Well I like it :-)

That's actually my gut feeling behind the delay rather than discontinuation.  But then I do have an over optimistic gut. I'd also agree with the opinion that Ricoh should or even must use a curved ...

The solution is easy - a GR with a curved aps-c sensor, giving FF like light gathering capabilities with reduced size ;-)
