From the author:

The book was done for Ricoh so it’s not a proper review but more a look on the features the GRD III offers and my comments on their use. It is a mix between advertising the features and a review if you so want.

And:

I will look into the possibility of offering a pdf version of the book so it will be easier for people to read.

That would be fantastic.

Letsgodigital says it: “Ricoh mirrorless camera by early November”

I received this rumor 2 months ago and now Letsgodigital confirms our rumor. The Ricoh mirrorless camera will probably be unveiled early November. No MicroFourThirds mount, it will have a K-mount (Pentax).

Rumors recap

Letsgodigital also reports on a new Ricoh camera with APS-C sensor (previously reported here). 43rumors has some additional information and claims that Ricoh will come out with their own lens mount.

Ricoh system camera

New Ricoh System camera to be announced soon! : We have received information from various sources about an upcoming introduction of a new Ricoh system camera. The new Ricoh system camera has presumably been developed based on a digital camera without built-in mirror. This system has become very popular lately, thanks to the introduction of the Panasonic Micro Four Thirds system cameras, among others. Whether Ricoh is actually launching a so-called mirror-less system camera is yet to be seen, although early reports mention a possible release in November. The Ricoh system camera will most likely be equipped with an APS-C image sensor, similar to the Samsung NX10, which first appeared in the news at PMA 2009

Ricoh is the first MicroFourThirds competitor

Dear readers,

this time we do not publish Olympus or Panasonic rumor, we have a Ricoh rumor. But the thought it will interest you to know that Ricoh will become the first MicroFourThirds competitor. They will release a compact mirrorless camera with interchangeable lenses. How do we know that? Our trusted sources confirmed that (and also some new ones).

We have only few informations:

- Announcement around November 10-12 and in store on December (99% chance the rumor will become truth)

- APS-C sensor (99%)

- Very similar in design and size to the Ricoh Caplio GX200 (80%)

- They will have their own mount…Not the rumored Pentax K-mount! (70%)

- It will use the new Epson EVF! (50%)

Some of our sources told us that the camera will beat the E-P1 and Panasonic GF1 specs.

As soon as we receive more specs and hopefully images we will post it on 43rumors.
