What do you think, Ricoh is Leica? There are only two manufactures
photography that could get away with making such a special purpose
device as a monochrome only digital camera, and only three that might
actually try it. Leica already makes such a beast, and will probably
make a profit on each one sold. Canon could make such a beast and
afford the loss on each one sold. Sony might make one and convince
themselves that it wouldn't kill their camera division, but it might.

Would you buy it? There would be a lot to gain in resolution and
sensitivity by eliminating the color filter. Big bonuses if you tend
to shoot in black and white a great deal anyways. I realize the
downsides of having to use filters just like the old days, but really
I'm ok with that personally. Plus think of all the great lenses that
are not all that suitable for color, but work amazingly well in black
and white. Just some wishful thinking. Even a B/W K-5 II would be
pretty cool.
