It's interesting that you ignore the lack of AA filter and redesigned micro-lenses (probably offset micro-lenses). The user interface is another area where Sony and Ricoh chose completely different paths, aimed at very different types of users. Have you had a chance to handle a recent Ricoh GR/GXR/GX-series camera? And I'm not talking about playing with one for a few minutes in a showroom.

For exactly those reasons I find it interesting and different. I have never even seen a Ricoh GXR, but I find the approach different and to me more attractive than the Sony/Olympus solutions, although I find the lack of a visor a dealbraker with all these new camera systems. Panasonic and Samsung with their NX10 have in my opinion taken the right approach and will gain an ever larger market share until the others see the light.
