So the different focal length optics are calculated in context to different sensor sizes used. But nothings clear at the moment, the ones who know it better, keep the secret. :) regarding the new Ricoh there’s speculation in german camera forums, about an APS-C sensor, perhaps in the bottom of the camera, with different optics that use specific parts of with, making up a camera that can have little zoom lenses attached, as well as big prime lenses.

And even more strange is to Ricoh to release an smaller sensor and the same zoom as the GX200.Why?...and how the guy can tell the camera won't have the IQ to compete with m4/3? did he see any samples at all?
