The A12 is a brand new unit for the Ricoh GXR camera system, which uniquely combines the lens and image sensor into interchangeable modules that slot into the GXR body. The A12 marries a 28mm fixed lens with a 12 megapixel APS-C image sensor, and also offers 4fps continuous shooting, 720p video and an ISO range of 200-3200. Costing £529.99 / $699 for the A12 unit, read our Ricoh GXR A12 28mm review to discover if the combination of the GXR and the A12 is a winning one.

So hats off to Ricoh for making an incredibly good camera on their first go. As far as failures go, the Ricoh GXR was a damn good one.

Ricoh GXR with GR S10 Camera Unit
4.4

A camera unit with a 1/1.75-inch CCD sensor and stabilised 3x optical zoom lenses for photographers who require versatility and pocketability.Having covered the camera body and A12 Macro camera module in our initial reviews, in this review we will focus on the Ricoh S10 camera unit, which appears to use the same sensor as the GR Digital III and GX200 and the same lens as the GX200. This unit will appeal to photographers who have been asking for a GR Digital III with a zoom lens.
