and what linked article says:
> 4. They are now not in bed with Samsung anymore and they will not use/join the NX by no means.
Are quite different things. Especially considering that:
> 3. […] In the meantime, they will use low end entry level DSLRs like K-r and K-x to compete with those other mirrorlesses which are already in the marktet.
They are simply stating that at the moment they do not have EVIL cameras.
The sensor shape in that Ricoh GXR “expansion unit” ( in their roadmap )is more square, reminds of 4/3. Then again, some of their units are using APS-C sensors, so it is more likely for them to make a NEX mount unit.
It will be quite hard for any manufacturer, however big, to come out with completely new mirrorless system, new mount and lenses, in 2011, because by then m4/3 and Sony NEX will be quite established and well rounded systems. Can Canon and Nikon afford to wait more?
