Q-S1 is the only one shown on the Ricoh catalogue(?) page.

But for some reason it doesn't seem to be available via the official Ricoh on-line store.

I quite like the first - the strong symmetry with just enough little details to stop it being totally symmetrical.

But the second appeals to me more. Golden ratio/Fibonacci spiral? Plus cannons!

Er... WHY cannons?

Given Ricoh Forum's circumstances and that there is a slight tie up between Pentax and Ricoh (so I've been informed ) couldn't they be offered a sub forum here? We are actually now Ricoh users, are we not?
Unless you have a pre-2011 Pentax (or clone).

In which case, are you a Hoya user?

There isn't a sub-forum for forum questions, so I'll put my question here...

This is the Pentax User forum. OK. Pentax are owned by Ricoh via Ricoh Imaging.
The competitions usually specify pictures must be taken using Ricoh/Pentax cameras or clones.
I assume ALL Pentax cameras are eligible.
What about Rich branded cameras?
All the digital compacts listed on the UK Ricoh-Imaging site are Ricoh models.
Are they eligible? It is, after all, the same company making them.
And if they are, what about older Ricoh models?
I.E. those produced pre-2011, when Ricoh bought Pentax and formed Ricoh-Imaging (though the name change wasn't until 2013).

The reason I ask? I got this recently, very cheap, for my 10MP camera collection:

Full boxed kit (even the USB cable!) for £30.

It pre-dates Ricoh-Imaging. But then again, so does my K10D...

Thanks for the information and link. I had trees in front of me so looks slightly different. At first I thought it was some sort of Temple (far eastern )
Me too, so I Googled Weston super Mare Pagoda, and that came up!

I have thought about this, but knowing me would forget I had it on and go to the supermarket looking a right plonker.
Just tell them you are rehearsing for the live-action version of this...

I had an X-5 and it can produce good pics.

The major problem was that it uses AA batteries (4 of them) and gets through them pretty quickly.

Good lord, even the McDonald's sign is (quite) tasteful!
