Hi everybody.

Today I was in the Paris's photography salon. No breaking news, except from Ricoh.
They had a small stand, with just one guy. After some small talk about thier products, come the juicy part. Here's a transcript (from memory, but I remember pretty well):

Me : Is a remplacement for the CX200 coming ?
Ricoh guy : That's the end of this line, *we are going to issue a small interchangable lens system instead. It will have a APS-C sized type sensor*.
Me : Ah. It won't be as small and pockable anymore then ?
Ricoh guy : *It will be as small as the GX*.
Me : How is possible ? :O The bigger the sensor, the bigger the camera, isn't it ?
Rigoh guy : It depend where is the sensor.
Me : :O :O :O [!!! here it get totally crazy !!]
Him : We invented something new, there is a trick in the design of the camera.
Me : What lenses will it use, micro 4/3 ?
Him : No, your own lenses. Official annoncement is 10 of november. It will hit the store early december.


I didn't ask for more that's all I need to know as far as I am concern...

Here's some pictures from the show (shot with dp2, sorry about that)
