Like bring a full-frame DSLR to market.
Do you honestly think that making a FF DSLR takes as little effort as making a slide duplicator?
Do you honestly think that Ricoh Imaging's engineers should do nothing but work on the FF, regardless of their specialization? (note that adding more people to a late project will only make it later).
Do you honestly think that accessories aren't needed?
With this, I hope you have your answer.
