Hi,
Ricoh just stole Pentax ;-)
From the Caplio R1 press release:
> novative lens mechanism incorporates a 4.8x optical zoom lens in an
> ultra thin 25mm body. Underlying Caplio R1?s stunning picture-taking
> abilities is its unique lens design incorporating a retracting
> system that allows a part of the lens group to slide out from the
> cone and become thin enough to store in the compact body.
(otherwise, the RZ1 and R1 seem interesting cameras with really fast
start-up,AF and shutterlag. I am still waiting for a digital
equivalent of GR1s though)
Good light!
