Well not news or rumor at the time, but it can be true in the coming year if we all want to.
Ricoh announces to come with a M-mount module for its GXR modulair system build camera. To fit all Leica M-lenses.
What if we all ask Ricoh to make a Full Frame K-mount module. Would there be an interest for?
I will send an email to Ricoh to watch this thread. Just some input on it from everyone.
Since I'm not expecting Pentax to come up with a Full Frame camera in 2011. Or am I wrong?
The GXR system isn't a fast system, so really just a photographers camera. Not for sports or any fast action. It works with SDHC-cards and has a relativily small buffer to work with.
Then the question of what sensor should be in it. A CMOS would be great, but then again who is providing it. The system is probably to slow for a real moviefunction and the battery is quickly depleted using liveview. Then there is this wonderful full frame sensor, CCD, from Kodak that is also in the Leica M9. Would this be a very nice thing to run on?
- Put in the 18 megapixel CCD sensor that alsoo is futured in the Leica M9
- The sensor of the Nikon D700 could be possible.
- A new CMOS sensor from Sony if it is possible to purchase.
Any thoughts on this?
