Someone needs corrections here! I thought the GR1 was a 35mm FILM camera, and the first GRD was a 1/1.8" sensored Digital Camera. This new GR is the first APS-C sized GR, film or digital.

Pentax/Ricoh (aka Baskin/Robins) is limited to the 31 colors (flavors) that the K-30 has, so no more K-5 let alone a Full Frame DSLR.

Asahiflex on Pentax Forums found it:

"I just noticed that Ricoh Pentax uploaded a new movie on Youtube (I got a mail from Youtube notifying me of any new uploads from RICOH Pentax)".

I had time to download it before it was labelled "private". I sent it to Mirrorless Rumors and Photo Rumors and the former uploaded it on YouTube.

So, Pentax finally released nothing and Ricoh some stupid fixed focus 28mm camera, with an old sensor, that looks like the ultra cheap little black plastic kodak camera my parents had in the 80s.

It cost more than a DSLR with a faster 28mm?

Cool offering from R-P. But confusing that Ricoh has not switched over to Pentax's hot shoe standard, surely that would make more sense...

I'm a DLSR Pentax and GRD III Ricoh user and this new GR, pocketable, APS, 28mm camera is the camera that most of current GRD (I,II, III, IV) owners were awaiting for. Photographers who have been using the GRD serie want to make the specific and unique kind of pictures you make only with a wide and fast lens 28mm. The controls, performances, and in particular the unique "snap" function (you set the focus on a specific distance - excellent tool for street photography) and handling (it's like a natural extension of your hand) are exceptional! I think Ricoh truly listened to those of us who make photos, and are consider a camera as a tool. The camera is not important, it's what you want and can do with it! Thanks Pentax/Ricoh
