Ricoh GX200 Review at Steves DigiCams

Ricoh GX200Steves DigiCams have reviewed the new 12 megapixel Ricoh GX200 - it features a wide angle 24mm 3x optical zoom lens, vibration correction, 1cm macro, ISO1600, and a 2.7" screen. The GX200 with electronic viewfinder included, is available for £359

"The Ricoh GX200 is a professional / enthusiast level camera that provides a great combination of quality and performance. The super-wide 3x optical zoom lens, 12-megapixel imager and slew of creative features make this perfect as a small easy to carry alternative to a dSLR in some circumstances."

Digital Lifestyles Review the Ricoh GX200

Ricoh GX200Digital Lifestyles have published a two part review of the new 12 megapixel Ricoh GX200 - it features a wide angle 24mm 3x optical zoom lens, vibration correction, 1cm macro, ISO1600, and a 2.7" screen. The GX200 with electronic viewfinder included, is available for £359

"If you already own a GX100, this is a pretty hard upgrade to justify unless you’ll be shooting a lot in RAW, but if you’re an enthusiast/pro photographer looking for a compact, carry-everywhere camera that offers you all the hands-on control you’ll get from a dSLR, this is well worth considering." Part 1, Part 2.

"More and more it seems like you have to buy a Digital SLR in order to get manual controls - not so with the Ricoh GX200 - it features full manual controls and more customisable buttons than most Digital SLRs! With this camera you can have all the great Digital SLR features, without the size, with the GX200 neatly fitting into coat pockets."

Ricoh GX200 ISO Noise Examples...

ISO Noise Test ThumbThe Ricoh GX200 features several Noise Reduction options. I thought it would be worth showing the difference in results between having Noise Reduction off, and on. The Automatic mode for ISO levels range from ISO 64 - ISO1600, and manual ISO settings are ISO: 64, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600. The camera also has several options for Noise Reduction (on, on above ISO401, on above ISO801, on ISO1600, or off) - the default setting is for Noise Reduction to be off. Crops are shown below, Noise Reduction Off shown on the left, Noise Reduction switch On shown on the right.
