I'm looking at the Ricoh cameras, including the GXR series. Since there are scarcely any reviews for the newer models, I was wondering if any of you owners could help advise? Thanks! :)

This is one of those ideas that sounds great and stupid at the same time. Is there a consumer benefit to integrated, processing lens units (quick change, dust-free), or is it more of a "Gillette razor" idea that the peripherals create more value for Ricoh than the intial product? There was this brief intro at ZDNET http://blogs.zdnet.com/digitalcameras/?p=2149&tag=... and the idea that the lens interface could also cater for mini printers and projectors - but still; is it...
