I don't even know if my GRD III has video. Never even thought to look.

what a sweet little rig. too bad my X100 has a marginally more useful (to me) 35/2 so I ...ah what the hell am I talking about. I'll probably end up buying one.
yossarian, just use both...

It was up for a while. Looks like it got taken down for being up toooo early. The rumor sites can get away w/ it because all they are reporting is a rumor...

Just when I was making friends with the x100... God dammit! 
My only problem with the GRD III was the IQ, oh well.

I am not a fan of the Pentax line only because for a csc it is no different than using a dslr in terms of overall size. I understand their marketing strategy and it makes sense given where they came from and how they have survived over the years.
I really hope the gr line is a success ... We keep a Ricoh model line in the mix and the differentiation point is Pentax for the dslr like cameras and Ricoh for the smaller form factor apsc..
When I think Ricoh I think of the original gr line and later the gxr one.

I really like my GRDIII, but I would LOVE to see Ricoh releasing the new model also with 35 or 40 mm lens (with a converter to 24mm if I may ask for it ) even if the aperture would be f/2.8 ...
I guess that this is the camera that Ricoh announced like a camera for Ricoh fans some time ago and I agree. I just hoped for some updates of the GXR line.

I wonder if the tc-1 teleconverter would work on this.

That website puts it in at ¥ 99,800 (about a 1000 USD), but US prices usually fair a little better than the Japanese market.

Officially announced, B&H lists it at $796.95.
Surprisingly it still shares the same DB-65 battery with the whole GR Digital line, and retains the 300-ish battery life. What say you Sigma?

The battery charger is now in camera via USB which could be handy on the move. But it's worth hanging on to those old GRD chargers for bulk recharging.
