. That’s almost a $200 discount over the regular price at Amazon!
And now back to rumors: Those are the specs of the new Ricoh GR model:
- The name of the new camera is GR and not GRV.
- 16 MP sensor APS-C size. The same sensor is used in the K-5II DSLR camera.
- New 28mm f/2.8 GR lens without any type of image stabilization.
- AF speed is much faster than the Nikon Coolpix A, slightly inferior to the X100S.
- The new GR will have almost the same size as Ricoh GR1, body size has been scaled up slightly from the GR Digital IV, it is lighter than Coolpix A.
- New Fn button has been added.
- Announcement in late April, release in mid-May.
- Price around $1000.

So it’s obviously a direct competitor to Coolpix A rather than Fuji. Is the 28mm focal length of aps-c or ff?
Still slow as molasses. It takes great pictures. Blurry pictures…
Oly’s E-PL2 takes faster-focused pictures. And that’s over 3 years old!
It is more than half off the initial as-released price? Looks like it falls even faster than Pentax k-01…
wish sony made a lens like that for a price like that…
The EOS-M selling now for $399 with a f/2 lens and interchangeable lens mount shows why the Coolpix A is so ridiculously overpriced. I might get a Coolpix A in 6 months when it hits the $350 mark though. Nice camera if it gets to the right price.
Will be announced on April 17th.
$399 is still too much for EOS-M.
Have to laugh at the guys who actually paid full price for this abortion of a camera from Canon.
hopefully if Canon ever improve their AF in their EOS M they can improve the AF in the liveview of their entry level DSLRs too, because the liveview AF is just painfully slow
