The Ricoh CX1 is a serious attempt to deal with the key imaging performance issues afflicting digital compact cameras and it does deliver some notable improvements. It would be nice to see these technologies combined with a greater degree of camera contro...
Amazingly vivid screen , Dynamic range mode is not just a gimmick , Range of bracketing options , Incredibly quick burst mode options
Noisy images at sensitivities over ISO 400 , No manual controls , No RAW
For a very reasonable price of AU$599 you get a proficient compact camera with heaps of features, great dynamic range and, dare we say, sexy styling for a Ricoh. Pity about the noise issues and lack of HD video, then....
Comfortable to hold, easy to use, well built, clear picture quality, excellent macros, useful manual focus

This is a pleasure to use, although we wished for more manual controls. The concepts of extended dynamic range and depth of field are concerns of the serious photographer. No point-and-shooter is going to care about these refinements. Yet the camera is...

Abstract: Ricoh is a strange company. Its main business is its extensive but rather pedestrian range of white-cabinet office machinery, such as copiers, fax machines and printers. Another department manufactures specialist microchips for industrial applications, wh...
