Correct me if I'm wrong, but I feel like the same thing could be done with a sticker on top of the standard SC

If I have learned anything about Japanese markets - never underestimate the power of Anime to sell a product.

Omg, I just wrote about Nikon going Miku on DPforums, after seeing their last video ad, lol..Sooo..Miku dumped Sony?
miku.ricoh website..
Interesting, an image editor that will include Miku in any pic..

Okay, I'll admit that I thought, "OMG I WANT THIS. NAO." when I saw the picture of this special edition. But as Digitalis and monochrome pointed out, hardcore collectors are gonna be all over this.

And it's not just a mere decal that makes it special. The LED lights are pink to match with her color scheme, and the shutter sound is also a unique Hatsune Miku shutter sound. That'll be incentive enough for collectors to get this one-of-a-kind product.

And for those of you wondering why only 3,939 units will be produced, the numbers '3' and '9' can be pronounced "mi" and "ku", respectively.

Ricoh Imaging's R&D budget well-spent, I think we'd all agree

I fully expect it to be able to be thrown up in the air were it releases a photonic shock wave incinerating an area of 50 miles around it including careless super sayans that loiter in the area.

Indeed they did... and to a lesser extent with some of the DSLR models (and lenses).

Who could forget this eye-catching K-x? One to show off proudly at the local camera club...

Hello Kitty.

Not that I follow this kind of thing or the perplexing, almost cult-like following of maneki-neko.
