I've used the 16mg APS one in the Sony NEX and the 24mg Full Frame one in their a900 and have been delighted with each (though more so with the a900 one.)<br /><br />There will be an even newer sensor in the NEX 7 and a77 models Sony plans on releasing this Fall and they may or may not be preferable from an IQ point of view. <br /><br />If and when you do offer such more advanced sensors, I'd very much like to see you implement an exchange or upgrade program that would allow those of us who've already bought into your system to have your "latest and greatest" for a modest fee.<br /><br />I own some wonderful Zeiss G series autofucus lenses. I'd love to pair them with the GXR. I don't know if a simple M-mount adapter wold work well enough to allow focusing them by hand, but my own eyes would need "peaking" or some similar help in order to do so. It might be a tall order, but the ideal solution for me would be a dedicated mount for Zeiss G lenses that would also be able to focus them automatically.<br /><br />All the best and more power to you,<br /><br />IrenaeusIrenaeushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05124706335363726776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5630829423345055973.post-49436044276146625102011-07-04T12:22:19.073+01:002011-07-04T12:22:19.073+01:00Thanks for all the questions so far, I have sent a...Thanks for all the questions so far, I have sent all questions so far to Ricoh and will post the answers as soon as I receive them.Cristianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03693596598258611350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5630829423345055973.post-13240095157656071172011-07-03T06:24:30.740+01:002011-07-03T06:24:30.740+01:00A side question.

Will therel be a facility to input lens information?<br /><br />- Is there any sort of automated sensor cleaning system?<br /><br />- What is the timed shutter range? Does it support Bulb? What is the maximum exposure length? <br /><br />- What is the X-sync shutter speed? Does it support high speed sync with a dedicated flash unit? <br /><br />- Does it support HD movie capture?<br /><br />- What is the expected MTBF of the shutter?<br /><br />- Can it do sequence capture? How many raw exposures can be made in sequence, and at what speed? How many JPEG captures can be made in sequence and at what speed? Is the intervalometer supported?<br /><br />- Does it support all the same GXR A12 format proportions?<br /><br />- Is the view in framing and focusing mode imaged from the main sensor or via an ancillary imaging system?<br /><br />- Are there any known lens incompatibilities?<br /><br />Thank you for answers to any of these questions.Godfrey DiGiorginoreply@blogger.com
