I guess the idea with the Ricoh thing is to save money by keeping the same screen/controls/battery/etc while swapping out both the lens and sensor, and to either let you get SLR quality images with prime lenses or something like a top-end P&S with a zoom. According to their website (http://www.ricoh.com/r_dc/gxr/ ), they have 4 different camera units available. Two use APC-C sized CMOS sensors with prime lenses (a 50/2.5 and 28/2.5 equivalent) and two use P&S sized CCD sensors with stabilized zoom lenses (equivalents 24-72/2.5-4.4 and 28-300/3.5-5.6). All of their lenses are listed in 35mm equivalents because otherwise it would be too confusing with the two differet sensor sizes used. The whole thing is pretty  but I suppose it might appeal to someone who wants a very compact setup (since the tiny sensor keeps the zoom lenses small and the primes aren't that big to begin with).
