As I wrote in my blog - the main problem today is that in order to get certain new features and/or advantages in body design I am forced by the manufacturers to upgrade the sensor as well. I have more than just one reason to not to want to upgrade from my Pentax K-5's sensor. By decoupling sensor from the camera body Ricoh did an excellent thing.Boris Libermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13492536795376346604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-587076776772814230.post-11584850245934901402011-09-19T22:30:29.487+01:002011-09-19T22:30:29.487+01:00Boris

M43 seems like a well developed system, but Ricoh GXR is very enticing too...Boris Libermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13492536795376346604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-587076776772814230.post-42380818212948478182011-09-01T12:38:16.464+01:002011-09-01T12:38:16.464+01:00Dolan
