I've read through the posts and i'm wondering what the main differences between the KR5 super, the KR 10m and the KR 10 super SLR's are? I've noticed that there's not much discussion about Ricoh cameras is there are reason for this or just personal preference.

I'm just a beginner/intermediate after learning basic photography at high school and since we used Ricoh's I kinda like them better. I'm looking at buying one over eBay since that's just about my budget these days.

Thanks

Here seems to be the main 'all in one place' reference source for Ricoh cameras:

There's not much discussion of them because there just aren't many of them around, in terms of the total camera universe. Some pretty solid cameras, but they've rarely had a commanding market presence. I replied to another Ricoh user here just a few days ago, but honestly can't recall the last time I actually saw one being used.

Here in the U.S., I would dare say that Ricoh sold more cameras when private-labeling for Sears, many years ago, than they ever have under their own brand. They're actually better known here for their Copiers - though they're a small player in that market, too.

I think I'm the other ricoh user you were speaking to.
I dont have the cameras you mentioned, I have an slx 500, so I can't really comment on those, but after searching all over the net, thats the only website I've been able to find too.
