I'm reading through it now, but a quick note about something that struck me immediately and always bugs me when I see it in reviews: Why don't you use the nomenclature afforded by the manufacturer? There's no such thing as a "lensor". The Ricoh GXR camera is comprised of a "camera body" ... the piece that carries the controls, the storage, the display, etc ... and a "camera unit" ... the piece that contains the sensor, lens, and shutter, etc, components. The latter is alternatively referred to as the lens or the camera module in some of Ricoh's literature and manuals. (The upcoming camera unit with a Leica M bayonet lens mount is being referred to as an "expansion unit" since it does not include a lens.) Why reviewers insist on making up their own nomenclature is a mystery to me. It just confuses things.
