It looks to be a K-r replacement in some respects, due to limited features, so I would hope there's another big surprise announcement soon as well as this. Or perhaps this is an elaborate hoax.

There's no DOF preview on the On/OFF latch either.. maybe there's a function button for that.

Adam has already said they are genuine.

The K-01 doesnt look anything like the rest of Marcs work. Hope this is all an elaborate hoax. Marc Newson Ltd

I wonder why they made it a point in the design to have that two tone look. It would make sense if the top part was interchangeable by way of modules...

bossa · 02-01-2012, 05:59 PM

Well it's not an SLR so I guess that's a moot point.

Hopefully Ricoh will bring out a K-Mount and FF sensor module for the GXR

Is Adam God or something?

Maybe its a modular camera like GXR and they will release full frame module for it.

No, but he happens to have more information in this case than the rest of us

I really don't like the looks. There have been some fantastic looking cameras out recently but this one just doesn't do it for me.

Ahh, so he's not The God.. he's just A god.

I hope the K-5 replacement will be a more modular design. That would at least allow a FF sensor module if they don't intend a FF camera per se.

If you equate getting advance information to be being "a god", then I suppose so

Sorry but I'm gonna have to say it again. I don't believe these real photo's of an actual camera. I reckon they are CAD renderings.

It's just the way his omnipotence was intimated in the other post that got me thinking like that.

Pretty much everyone who buys an SLR and kit lens, uses it on dummy program mode all the time and never buys an accessory lens.
Something like 95% of the really top end cameras (Canon 1 series, etc) are sold to no professional photographers. These are primarily fashion items.

Though I think one of the photos has evidence of hasty screen printing.

They look real.
