#ricoh gxr

Yesterday, Ricoh showed off their new (and bit different) interchangeable digital camera unit -- the Ricoh GXR. Unlike other popular dSLR we see nowadays where you screw in the lens and try to be careful not to get dust or dirt into the exposed compartment, the Ricoh GXR avoids that by putting the sensor and optics in one enclosure. For example, if you use the Ricoh P10, you get a 10 megapixel (1/2.3") CMOS image sensor and a 28-300mm 10.7x zoom lens. The Ricoh GXR P10 combo offers 720p HD video recording, 5 frames per second burst shooting speed and offers 60fps and 120fps recording mode in full manual control. If you use the Ricoh A12, you get a 50mm f / 2.5 Macro GR Lens with APS-C 12.3MP CMOS sensor. With the Ricoh S10, you get a 24-72mm f/2.5-4.4 VC with 10MP CCD sensor. Announced in November last year, the Ricoh GXR only arrived this month in the Philippines. They don don't have an exact price yet but promised the camera kit will be in the Php25,000 range (GXR body is only Php15,000).
