I actually start to doubt that Ricoh dropped the flash, because this would have been an unplausible shot into their foot (for any camera aimed also for outdoor and adventure use, with its compactness, robustness, and weather resistance). Having to carry and use an external flash would be neither a compact nor a robust nor a weather resistant setup. It would just spoil the entire kit.
Remember this is a Google translated feature list. How easily can creep a wrong word into that.
Also, why would a company want to explicitly mention in a feature list, what's NOT going to be included.
That's all too strange for me. I'll stop commenting on the alleged flash loss disaster until tomorrow, when we have a feature list in better English.
