I thought the grip was designed to hold a motor drive. I even bought one for that purpose but never used it. So if that's the case it would seem to be somewhat redundant to buy one for a DSLR as they don't need a motor drive and add unnecessarily to the bulk of the camera

Is ICE a variation on the ICE we have in scanners to reduce dust and scratches?
It's a panorama editor.

Link to using scanned raw CCD files from Vuescan:

I'd agree with the above however, the best practical file format to use from a scanner is a 48 bit tiff scanned at around 3200dpi. With the above you'd need to process the file in Vuescan to make it useable; it isn't a dng file.

Wonder if the K-3 will be on show? It's rumored to be announced on October 8th, the day before the event at SRS.

There's an article on it on PU now
Is the related photo below that article of a Box Brownie intended to give an indication of where Ricoh have reached in their camera development?

At over £300 I'd have expected better image quality unless those examples are at very low resolution and a higher resolution is available. It could also do with a remote trigger that doesn't rely on someone elses' smartphone technology. Not everyone has or wants one of those, or if one does not have it full of 'apps' (how I hate that term) that congest the thing thus rendering it unable to do its primary function, ie make a phone call.

I use FxIF, a Firefox add-on. It adds a context option when you right click the mouse over a photograph.
