Is that a historic prototype or something?

Yes, it's an early prototype. There were prototypes with 1/1.8", 2/3" and even ASPC sized sensors! Sadly, Ricoh engineers quickly found that only 1/1.8 or similar sized sensors are feasible for camera of GRD size.

Now what I'd like to see is a sample image from that GRD with APSC sensor. I guess thats locked up in a vault somewhere :roll:
