Hands-on with the Ricoh GXR

Monday 01 March

This week’s web TV sees Jon gets hands-on with an exciting new photography concept from Ricoh. The revolutionary Ricoh GXR uses interchangeable units that house both the lens AND the sensor, so you simply clip on a new unit for each set of shooting conditions. This aims to matc sensor type to the lens more closely to avoid photography mistakes, as well as protect those delicate camera components. So is it a genuinely useful innovation, or a mere photography gimmick?

Elsewhere, I’ll be testing my REAL hand-to-hand combat skills before having a go at Splinter Cell Conviction. As you’ll see, I fare slightly better in the virtual world… Tune in to this week’s web TV for all the action
