While the notion of a "unit interchangeable" camera like the GXR is interesting, technically, I'm not at all interested in it. I can only imagine the price of premium lens-sensor units, the difficulties in calibration across different lenses, etc.
And, of course, there will be no ability to use anyone else's lenses at all. No adaptation of existing FourThirds lenses, Pentax lenses, nothing. You use whatever and exactly what "lens unit" offerings the manufacturer makes available. Might be a nice system if it supports exactly what you want. And (for US photographers) if Ricoh re-institutes their sales/service/support network here that they eliminated almost a decade ago. But it's certainly not for me.
