Wow. Can you imagine if Ricoh Imaging US had been able to do this after Hurricane Sandy?

Heartwarming story. What an amazing effort. Thanks for posting.

This is admirable effort from Ricoh and all I can say is RESPECT!
World would be much better place if other corporations would show more empaty for those in need....
I have lost my childehood photos when we were moving and that is something that money can't replace.

What an amazing gesture! Ricoh put people ahead of profit! Those victims lost so much, how great that many can still have their "lost" photos!

Kinda puts into perspective the complaints of the people here who still can't forgive Ricoh for putting their company's name in tiny letters on the back of the K-3.

I am one of "those" people.
It's a separate issue, but yes, Ricoh doing things like this go a long way to leaving me with a good vibe with them.

Also, Ricoh on the back of the K3 was BEFORE the disaster (edit: I am wrong here - the Tsunami happened before the K3.)
Context and timeline is also important.
