Ricoh GR Digital II – Best Seller

Still haven’t decided if I’m going to get me a new GRD or not, my finances look bleak so it’s probably going to be a no-no. But according to the sales ranking of cameras in Japan for the month of November, many people don’t have the same qualms as me:

Ricoh GR Digital II

It shot straight to 1st rank right out of the drawing board. Impressive for such a special camera, definitely not aimed at the basic consumer. But as a friend of mine always tells me: “Don’t under-estimate the power of the Japanese otaku…”

  2. Will Ricoh ever invest in the recruitment of a designer ?

  3. why? personally I hate the little shiny brushed metal cameras
    this is the cool, old-school, sturdy look that I like

    you have to remember, it’s not a pocket camera for the consumer, it’s more of a professional camera that fits in your pocket, an extension of a DSLR
