    In reply to Ricoh GXR, Smallest Camera With Interchangable Lenses and Sensors, Coming In December
    You really have to watch the video to understand the concept. This system only seems to make sense if the pairing of a particular sensor to a particular lens had an advantage but I don't see how it would. Why would each lens need its own sensor? You could end up owning 4 lenses and four sensors, an over-investment in sensors, especially considering that inevitable improvements in sensor tech makes your lens obsolete. The more I type, the worse this idea sounds. A better system would allow one to upgrade just the camera's sensor. #ricohgxr

    Sounds like the guy from ZeroPunctuation. If only they reviewed cameras. #ricohgxr

    I can't really figure out how this system makes any sense. The body seems to only be the processor, storage, and screen, and I can't see that being a good deal for $700. The lens + sensor combo strikes me as letting Ricoh skimp on either glass or chip but force you to buy both, and make it seem like a deal.

    I think they're solving a problem that doesn't exist. #ricohgxr

    Interesting, but it by no means seems economical. It sounds like each component will set you back quite a bit, costing you between $900 and $1800 for the body and wide angle lens/body (pounds and Euros never seem to translate properly to dollars when crossing the Pacific, a $400 here may cost 400 pound sterling there). Coupled with the limitations of each body, I'm very hesitant about it. While it is nice to have a small, discrete camera like that with easily accessible, fully manual controls for street photography, I am extremely hesitant. #ricohgxr

    @Nathan Obbards: Yea, you're basically buying a new camera for each version. #ricohgxr
