This is not the leaked promotional poster of a camera terminated by the bean counters, it's a concept camera imagined by a Dutch photographer named Lieke Esveldt who has nothing to do with Ricoh.

BTW, actually oval lenses make perfect sense: the sensors are not square anyway!

Well... Technically they are...

If they'd announce a camera on April's 1st, wait for a few weeks and very slowly let the camera out , it would pump up lot of talk. Not a bad idea.

Yawn! They could at last have done some minor photoshopping to avoid that oval wheel.

That one comes out on April 20th in the US... 4/20...
