Ricoh announces the Caplio GX100. Seems like we have something of a trend here, with the Ricoh GRD, the Sigma DP1 and now the GX100.
Maybe, someday we will have a great camera along the lines of:
* large sensor
* prime lens with big aperture, 35/2.0 or 50/2.0
* negligible shutterlag
* optical viewfinder
* traditional knob controls
* no LCD
* manual focus
That is, a digital version of the Minox 35 GT, the Olympus 35 RD/SP, the Canonet QL 17, the Konica Auto S3 or a host of other quality compact cameras from the film era. Strange thing that the digital camera designers just can’t seem to come up with one of those.
