MrSMW Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 I knew about the ‘Piece Of Shit’…but think it’s a bit better than that…though still would not have one, but how did the Ricoh pass me by? Looks like my kind of thinking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interest cooled when it a) took so long to come out and b) it ended up launching at $6K . When you look at the Flickr group there are some interesting images but the weird/telling thing is that every single one of them is by the same photographer ! Makes you wonder how many they actually sold in the end. https://www.flickr.com/groups/14759325@N21/pool/with/52332163939 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone is currently selling an entire kit on eBay including two of the lens modules, the M mount, EVF flash etc for £1500. I'm absolutely not tempted in the slightest of course. Absolutely no way. Definitely. kye 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether it is great or a bit lame, unless you get it out there with the noisy folk on YouTube, it’s dead in the water. He who shouts loudest and all that… Plus it was very expensive. Plus it had a very limited shelf life because tech moves on so fast these days whether we like it, want it, or any other factor. I’d personally like to also see exchangeable internals as in buy your modular shell and rig it out however you wish whether that is not at all (like me) other than perhaps a bit of a grip, or add on frames and screens and rails etc, but a couple of years down the line, be able to either plug & play, or send in for an upgrade. There is a real lack of imagination in the camera world comprising mostly the mildest of evolutions but rarely a revolution. We need a Framework camera - that guys are doing VERY interesting things with laptops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
