Ricoh Caplio GX100 Review at Photography BLOG

Ricoh GX100Photography BLOG have posted their review of the new Ricoh GX100 - a compact 10 megapixel update to the Ricoh Caplio GX8 - it features an ultra-wide angle 3x optical zoom lens equivalent to 24 - 72mm, a 2.5" screen, CCD-shift vibration correction feature, 1cm macro, ISO upto 1600, 380 shot battery life and a removable LCD viewfinder. The Ricoh Caplio GX100 will be available at the end of April for £399:

"There are a few downsides to consider, principally the level of noise at ISO 400 and faster, and depending on how deep your pockets are, the price. Ricoh have always chosen the route of "less reduction, more noise", maintaining image detail but displaying more artifacts at slower ISO speeds than some of their competitors. Consequently images are noisy both onscreen and in prints at ISO 400 and faster. In all other respects the image quality is very good."
