Ricoh GXR PNS (sorta) camera system

[nwoods]

This is an interesting camera. Takes the unit that Tom Sheppard wrote about in OJ a few months back to a whole new level. The sensor is part of the lens, and you buy lens modules at whatever focal lengths you want. No dust spots, ever. No telescoping, dust bellow pumping, battery robbing lenses like most PNS cameras.

Interesting indeed. But not cheap:

hmmm how much can the controls and rear LCD contribute to the total price anyways> That's what I don't get...

Seems like the polar-opposite of K.I.S.S.
