In an interview conduct by dpreview of Kazunobu Saiki, Senior Management and Group Leader, Marketing Section said “Ricoh GR is one of our most important premium cameras. We want to reassure our GR lovers that the series will continue.”
When interviewer asked Might that extend to GRs with other focal lengths? … ‘It depends,’ says Saiki: ‘we know we really appeal. We have so many GR lovers, it’s a very emotional attachment. That’s why we need to listen to customers about where we should go.’
Undoubtedly Ricoh GR is is one of the most affordable camera APS-C sensor based camera for professionals, but the Ricoh GR II update created big disappointment among the GR users since sensor, lens, image processor and almost everything remains same as of predecessor except WiFi. The GRII was announced back on Jun 17, 2015. From the interview It’s very clear that Ricoh now taken the GR series concept seriously after the high-demand large sensor compacts and they sure will bring a major update soon. We hope the next GR series camera will arrive on Q3 of 2017.
