Didier,
The Ricoh is a solid camera, but at 28mm a bit too wide.  Again, if they
made it with a 35 - 40mm lens I would be a little poorer.  But, I figure
that with the overkill in the digital market fragmentation that someone will
fill the void as a way to sell a few more boxes.  Who knows, maybe Leica can
convince Panasonic to build a new box.  Take the 4/3 sensor put a lens on
the front and the back end could be something off the shelf.
