Ricoh GRD V (speculation cum wishlist)

[hellfire88]

Time to sell my 1.5 year old GRDIV...

there are certain things that the grd 4 can do that i'm sure the gr 5 cant achieve like the 1cm macro and deep DOF...

small sensors have their own unique strengths...

keeping the grd4 for now :bsmilie:

I was just kidding. I will keep it in my collection till the end of time. But I'm not impressed by the macro; 1cm sounds cool but the magnification is low.

the only speculation now on GR is the pricing. which i believe it would be "buyer-friendly" when it is launched in Singapore

Could it be use in GRD, GXR or new GR lenses for 4/3 cameras?

Ok the new GR is out. In the link above. Ricoh filed to patents and they could be planning to have a 4/3 sensor or apsc for the GR canmera n ultimatelt is apsc. Wise choice.

But in my previous post i also found this link. http://ricehigh.blogspot.com/2013/01/new-ricohs-aps-c-lens-patents-23mm-f25.html?m=1

This link looks like for the new GXR or next Pentax-Ricoh camera...
