<p>Looks interesting. I can't help but wonder if this camera will use the new Sony 24mp sensor or if Pentax will, yet again, try and repackage the same 16mp sensor they've been selling for years now...</p>

Can't get excited about the look of the thing--it's all about features and performance as far as I'm concerned.

<p>This *could* be a fake. It looks rather like the April Fools images that keep popping up.</p>

Everything about this camera looks exceptionally attractive. If the predictive AF is at current standards (as in Nikon and

Canon) and the flash system is modernized, then Ricoh's proving something. But if you build a body like that, it is

imperative that higher performing lenses come soon. They really need a zoom in the 80-400mm range for sports and bird

shooters.

<p>Probably better to discuss on newer post-announcement thread but for posterity it may not be a Sony 24mp sensor but Toshiba, as Nikon is reportedly using.</p>
