Yes, but how do we stop this government and the EU taking more and more in tax and wasting it?
Best regards.

Well this thread should convince Pentax that they don't
need to release a FF
Come on Pentax we want a Retro *ist DL
Oh! for the good old days of 6MB cameras!

The final image isn't the only reason people use FF, although some argue it is. It's because people have better options or more choice as far as kit and systems go. It's as much about using the kit as to what it produces which is down to the end user at the end of the day.
If Ricoh don't make a FF, so be it. There are plenty of other choices out there from companies that do. I'm shooting MF film, not because I find it better than digital but it's different and I just like using the camera and lenses.
As for a Ricoh Retro, yes, bring it on.

Hold a K-3 under a running water tap for a few minutes and repeat the exercise with a Canon and the Nikon... then go for the one that still works....even the water-resistant £2300 5D3 is only water resistant up to a point (the shutter isn't sealed)...
It could be the perfect sales pitch for Ricoh. Compare the top Ricoh DSLR with the non-top Canikons. It would cause lots of Canikon users to jump ship (to drier Ricoh land).
It's a great demonstration of just how water resistant the Ricoh is and if there's no tap nearby you could always improvise but maybe not at the counter.

Not at all important to me because I've been using cameras in the rain for four decades without any mishaps.

I used the built in OS on the Sigma rather than the in body IS.
It is fast to focus and I have had no issues with focus accuracy on it.
One real quibble for me, the zoom ring rotates in the opposite way to the Pentax and can feel odd at times.

I generally don't get to be where it rains too often but it can get very dusty. That said, my istD has survived over the years having been in some very dusty situations.
It seems it is becoming the norm now with other brands as well. The top Canikons are WR but not the lower range models or cheaper lenses.
If I get back to the UK this year for a visit, I'll make sure I bring some dry weather with me.
Best regards

I had a video camera stop for a while many years ago in Oban due to extremely wet damp weather but have never had anything fail due to rain or damp since.

I look forward to seeing the detailed method used to arrive at these scores.
