The Ricoh GXR is the world's first camera with interchangeable lens and sensor units, and the smallest camera with interchangeable lenses. What Digital Camera presents a hands-on preview of the new system.

Around 2-years on since the Ricoh GXR hit the market and we're looking at a module that could save this system. What is the A12 Leica M-mount unit like? Pricing reference: www.digitalrev.com Watch the deleted scenes here: www.facebook.com
