The Ricoh GR is an 8 megapixel compact camera with a fixed focal length, wide angle lens. The lens is the equivalent of a 28mm f2.4 optic on a film camera and there is an optional supplementary lens that shortens the focal length to 21mm. Yes, you have read this correctly. There is no zoom -- unless you count the 3x digital zoom. As far as we know the Ricoh is unique. There is no other fixed focal length lens in this price bracket on a digital compact camera. So the question is: who is the intended user and what is the intended use?
