The lens is excellent and the resolved detail is exceptional, helped by the sensor-shift image stabilisation. The wide angle end of the zoom is wonderful with very little barrel distortion. RAW images are saved in Adobe’s universal DNG format.
Write times to the memory card are a problem, especially in RAW mode. It takes some seconds to write to a standard SD card, during which time the camera is locked and unusable. The RAW image is large – 14.4MB – and the write delay will stop mo...
The Ricoh goes to the top of the list of cameras recommended for travellers to Europe. In fact this is a camera that would be handy in a photographer’s kit alongside a single lens reflex for those occasions when a quick snap with an all-in-one is ca...
Abstract: As we noted in the Winter 2007 issue of Photo Review Australia magazine, there are few digicams that meet the needs of serious photographers. Ever an innovator, Ricoh has gone part of the way to provide a solution through its new Caplio GX100 model, wh...
Compact cameras tend to be almost entirely focused on consumers, emphasising gimmicks and ease of use rather than manual controls and ultimate image quality.The 10MP GX100 aims to change all that. It eschews the latest technology such as face-detection...
Abstract: We were suitably impressed by Ricohs recent 8-megapixel GR-D compact camera. Not only did it feature a highly corrected and bright 28mm-equivalent f/2.4 lens, but it was offered with an optional 21mm wide-angle conversion lens as well as a removable o...
Flexible, with a host of manual controls, Very well built, with a great lens
Sluggish lens operation, Expensive

Some shooting delays; weak autofocus; average image stabilisation
An expensive -- but not over-priced -- compact camera that will appeal to enthusiast snappers bored with average lenses, average interfaces and average pictures. The wide-angle zoom lens in particular offers flexibility and competence in a fully manua...

User-friendly controls for full manual creative shooting; impressive, class-leading feature set; RAW format capture ability; CCD-shift optical image stabilization; clip-on electronic viewfinder.
Mediocre image quality with higher-than-average amount of noise for shots above ISO 400; slow focusing; unattractive design.
The Ricoh Caplio GX100 brings the control and features of a good dSLR camera to a compact model. However, its average image quality, high image noise above ISO 400 and unattractive design are shortcomings that may keep many from being attracted by its ...
Abstract: Cuando Ricoh anunció la GX100, esperé impacientemente mi turno para probar la cámara. Tiene todo lo que busco en una cámara compacta. Un objetivo gran angular, pero también zoom, soporte RAW, estabilización de imagen, una buena resolución y un exterio...
Abstract: Zudem tut sich die 10-Megapixel-Kamera mit einem Blitzschuh, manuellen Einstellmöglichkeiten, dem RAW-Format und einem cleveren Bedienkonzept hervor. Wir ermitteln die Auflösung in diesem Fall bei 19 (mit Vorsatz), 24 sowie 72 mm, und die Werte sind d...
