An interview with Ricoh about their mysterious Pentax film camera project, staying competitive in the industry, AI, and more.
: We think that new models will contribute to an increase in the market. Our focus is on how younger individuals can enjoy shooting with film, with a sense of security. The reliability of film cameras has become more challenging, especially as film prices rise and older products tend to break down. By offering a durable and repairable camera with a warranty, we aim to provide users with a sense of security. We believe this would be a significant advantage for both users and ourselves.
The engineer in me is curious to see what Ricoh comes up with to meet these expectations. A successful solution is going to require some out-of-the-box thinking. The more I’ve thought about it though, the more I think Ricoh is on the right track with the compact-first strategy. Enthusiast shooters can easily scratch their film itch by buying used gear on eBay. There are tons of film bodies available at low cost, many still in fine shape. Were Ricoh to simply come out with a newly-manufactured *ist body, chances are a lot of the people most interested in it would already have satisfied that urge by buying a used Ricoh or Pentax film body for under $100.
What do you think? Would you be interested in being part of a group where you know that your input and comments would be taken directly to the Pentax engineers, and their responses communicated back? Some current Pentax users have expressed concern that the Film Project could draw engineering resources away from the digital product line. Ricoh assured me that this wasn’t the case: The Film Project has been making very modest demands on their engineering capacity. : Of course, with all this talk of film, many of your digital users are concerned that it might detract from developments on the digital side.
