The Ricoh GXR is a totally new kind of compact camera. Big words, true, but there’s really nothing like this modular system available at the lower end of the camera market: you don’t just swap lenses here – you swap entire front sections, including a lens AND a sensor. So does Ricoh’s innovative system really mean more flexibility and better photos than a regular compact or a Micro Four Thirds snapper like the Olympus E-P2? Read our full Ricoh GXR review for the answer.
The Ricoh GXR, just announced today, is a radical rethink of just how a camera should be built. By shoving the sensor inside the lens kit, Ricoh’s allowed for a camera body that stays up to date every time a new lens/sensor clip-on comes out, but that’s not all. With the Ricoh GXR, you can add attach other bolt ons too, and Ricoh’s just unveiled a few prototypes of what those might be!
The Ricoh GXR system is here! We’ve grasped the world’s first camera to cram the lens and sensor in a detachable unit and taken it for a spin. Check out the Ricoh GXR in our hands on photos!
The Ricoh GXR system is very clever, and yet at first glance incredibly simple too. It leaked last night, but now the GXR is official: There’s a single camera unit into which you slot lenses, except the camera unit itself doesn’t contain a sensor, instead that’s packaged inside the lens attachments.
The attachments are completely sealed, dust-proof, and just the start of a complete reinvention of photography. Read on and see how the Ricoh GXR system is a godsend for serious snappers.
The Ricoh GXR system has leaked online just a day before it’s reportedly being unveiled officially. Eager reporters have accidentally placed their hands-on footage online early, landing them in hot water, and giving us an early peep at the new Ricoh GXR. Read on, and see why it’s so special.
