Originally posted by jatrax No need for conspiracy theories, an error was made, that's all. According to sources there was to be an announcement on October 6th which was canceled. The prototype was then to be shown at Photo Plus. The October 6th announcement was canceled but someone did not get the word that this also meant not showing the prototype. So it got displayed, and taken down as soon as Japan noticed.
Funny that you preface your conspiracy theory with "no need for conspiracy theories." If you truly believe that I have a bridge to sell you.
Originally posted by jatrax Why was the announcement canceled, along with training sessions and the start of a marketing campaign? Who knows. Could be technical problems, sourcing problems, logistics, a change in heart at Ricoh. Might even be a decision to cancel the whole project for all we know. Though I doubt the last.
The reason for the delay has been well documented by those in the know, and it has nothing to do with technical problems, sourcing problems, logistics, or a change in heart.
