Such special editions aren't meant for taking photos.

Just like their equivalents from Leica, Rollei etc. they'll be unpacked
with white gloves and go straight into collectors' glass cabinets, not
to be touched again before they're disposed of by their heirs.

Nothing wrong with that as long as Ricoh make money with them. So, churn
them out in neon green, candy red and piggy pink if it helps to make
decent cameras for the rest of us.

I have it!  It's the first phase of a set of machines to produce photos in the 
style of Mondrian.  Buy the whole set to experience the full effect.  Look out 
for the primary colour trio and the arctic white model; coming soon.

I'd be a little afraid that the only response when I pushed the
shutter release would be a little message that appeared in the
iviewfinder that said "Please do not press that button again"
