The paper describes recent developments in Photon Detectors useful for the Cherenkov Ring Imaging Applications (RICH). We discuss the Multi-anode PMTs, HPDs with PIN and APD diode readout, APDs working in a Geiger mode, and the gaseous multi-pattern detectors. The paper emphasizes their timing properties. We give equal chance to fragile, not yet entirely proven ideas. + Invited talk at 4th Workshop on RICH Detectors (RICH 2002), Pylos, Greece, June 2-6, 2002. * Work supported by the Department of Energy under contract DE-AC03-76SF00515.
