Today, Ricoh announced the successor to the GX100. It is unsurprisingly called GX200 and boasts some interesting new features. It now has a RAW buffer, the electronic leveler from the GRD II and also records RAW in the 1:1 format.

Features:
- 12MP 1/1.7" CCD with a new "Smooth Engine III"
- 2.7" 460k-pixel LCD
- 1:1 RAW and RAW buffer that allows 5 successive RAW shots in continuous or bracketing mode
- Electronic leveler and sensor orientation
- Mode dial has now MY 1, MY 2 and MY 3 for quick changes to user settings
- In addition to the FN1 there is now and FN2 button that is user programmable
- Flash compensation has been added (+/- 2EV)
- Automatic dynamic range correction for high contrast scenes
- New b&w color filters and color bracketing option
- In-camera white balance correction
- A new 135mm tele adapter (TC-1) lens and a new optional automatic lens cap (LC-1) that allows the camera to start without removing it. Both accessories will also fit on the GX-100 from the looks of it.

All other specs should be identical to the GX100.

Addendum:
