Ricoh CX1 Review at DigiCamReview.com

DigiCamReview.com have reviewed the new Ricoh CX1 - an update to the Ricoh R10 - it features a 9 megapixel CMOS sensor which allows high speed shooting at 4fps, enhanced dynamic range, and features a 28mm wide angle 7.1x optical zoom lens, high resolution 3" screen, ISO1600, VGA videos, and is available in silver, black or pink for £292.

"The Ricoh CX1 may seem like other Ricoh cameras before it - however the new 9 megapixel CMOS sensor adds some important features - namely extremely quick continuous shooting. With 4fps at full resolution the camera can shoot quicker than most budget Digital SLRs! High speed shooting also allows Ricoh to provide an impressive Dynamic Range mode - this uses the speed of the camera to take two shots of different exposures - combines the two and produces an image with greatly increased dynamic range. The results are quick, clever, and very useful."

Ricoh R10 Review at Ricoh GR Diary

Ricoh GR Diary have reviewed the new Ricoh R10 - an update to the R8 - the camera features a new hand grip, a larger high resolution 3" screen, a new easy mode, a new auto level feature, new function button, and the same specifications as the R8, such as 10 megapixel sensor, 7.1x wide angle zoom, 1cm macro, anti-shake sensor and ISO1600. The camera is available for £179

"If you are looking to buy a compact point and shoot camera you probably have more choice than you would like and can easily be overwhelmed with all the models by the different manufacturers. Most of these camera models differ only in the colors available or will mostly offer you more or less completely obscure scene modes. In the midst of all these cameras you will find only a few really interesting and unique cameras and one of them is the Ricoh R10."

"A reduction in price, and improved features, such as the impressive high resolution 3.0" screen, increases the Ricoh R10's overall score compared to the Ricoh R8. If you want a wide angle camera with a large zoom - but also want the camera to fit in your pocket then the Ricoh R10 is a good choice."

"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."

With this camera you can have all the great Digital SLR features, without the size, with the GX200 neatly fitting into coat pockets."

Ricoh Caplio R6 Review at Good Gear Guide

GoodGearGuide have reviewed the new 7.2 megapixel Ricoh Caplio R6 - an update to the unique Ricoh Caplio R5, the new R6 features a wide-angle 7.1x optical zoom lens, ISO upto 1600, image stabilisation, 1cm macro mode, an (ultra) compact metal body, updated features include Face Recognition focus, new zoom control, a new slim body (20.6mm vs 26mm), a 2.7" screen, etc. The camera will be available in Silver, Red (pictured above), or Black:

"The features list is reasonable including a very impressive 3.7 shot per second continuous shot mode. This is one of the speediest burst modes we've ever seen on a compact and when combined with the 7.1x optical zoom and Ricoh's anti-blur technology, it places a lot of power into the hands of the user. However, you should note that with the anti-blur switched on, we experienced some very mixed results with regards to image quality."

Ricoh Caplio R6 Review at ePhotoZine

ePhotoZine have reviewed the new 7.2 megapixel Ricoh Caplio R6 - an update to the unique Ricoh Caplio R5, the new R6 features a wide-angle 7.1x optical zoom lens, ISO upto 1600, image stabilisation, 1cm macro mode, an (ultra) compact metal body, updated features include Face Recognition focus, new zoom control, a new slim body (20.6mm vs 26mm), a 2.7" screen, etc. The camera will be available in Silver, Red (pictured above), or Black:

"There are some great features on the Caplio R6, starting off with the design which is stylish and modern. The zoom is great, really one of the fastest we've seen on a compact, and tied in to a 28mm wide angle setting, really gets the camera off to a flying start. The face recognition focus system works well, finding faces where ever they are on the screen, but the portrait mode, with its desire to make everything seem nice and fluffy, rather hammers the detail."

Ricoh Caplio R6 Review at Think Camera

Think Camera have reviewed the new 7.2 megapixel Ricoh Caplio R6 - an update to the unique Ricoh Caplio R5, the new R6 features a wide-angle 7.1x optical zoom lens, ISO upto 1600, image stabilisation, 1cm macro mode, an (ultra) compact metal body, updated features include Face Recognition focus, new zoom control, a new slim body (20.6mm vs 26mm), a 2.7" screen, etc. The camera will be available in Silver, Red (pictured above), or Black:

"Overall, Ricoh's Caplio R6 is very impressive. Ricoh have made some very good choices in how it operates, so it can be full-auto when required, or it can give the photographer control when they want it. This level of control is backed up by an impressive feature set that by and large is well implemented - face detection aside. All this, and it's responsive and easy on battery life as well."

Ricoh Caplio R5 Review On-Line!

I've just published our review of the new 7 megapixel Ricoh Caplio R5 on DigiCamReview. The R5 is features a wide-angle 7.1x optical zoom lens, ISO upto 1600, a 2.5" screen, newly designed controls and curvier body, and image stabilisation in an (ultra) compact metal body. The camera will be available in Silver, Red, or Black for £249 including VAT:

"The Ricoh Caplio R5 is a new 7 megapixel update to the Ricoh Caplio R4 - it has a 7.1x optical zoom lens - this is impressive considering the camera is roughly the same size as cameras with only a 3x optical zoom lens. The camera's wide-angle 7.1x optical zoom lens starts at 28mm and zooms to 200mm equivalent, and has a built in lens-cover. The camera also features a "Vibration Correction" CCD sensor, much like Konica Minolta's Anti-shake technology - image stabilisation is becoming more and more common as an effective way to reduce camera shake and blur in low-light or with long zoom lenses."

Ricoh Caplio R5 Review

Photography BLOG have reviewed the new 7 megapixel Ricoh Caplio R5 - an update to the unique Ricoh Caplio R4 reviewed here, the new R5 features a wide-angle 7.1x optical zoom lens, ISO upto 1600, a 2.5" screen, newly designed controls and curvier body, and image stabilisation in an (ultra) compact metal body. The camera is available in Silver, Red, or Black for £249 including VAT:

"Ricoh have introduced some significant improvements to the Caplio R5, principally a great continuous shooting mode which allows unlimited shooting at 2.5fps, and the ability to take consecutive flash shots without having to wait for the flash to recharge. In addition there's even longer batter life (around 350 shots), a much improved movie mode and higher resolution LCD screen, bringing the Ricoh R5 in line with other cameras in this class."

New Ricoh Caplio R5 Review at Pocket-Lint

Pocket-Lint have reviewed the new 7 megapixel Ricoh Caplio R5 - an update to the unique Ricoh Caplio R4 reviewed here, the new R5 features a wide-angle 7.1x optical zoom lens, ISO upto 1600, a 2.5" screen, newly designed controls and curvier body, and image stabilisation in an (ultra) compact metal body. The camera will be available in Silver, Red, or Black for £249 including VAT:

"I wanted to heartily recommend this camera to you but on balance, I can’t. The Ricoh Caplio R5 straddles the gap between full control and automation nicely, its feature set and build quality almost perfect for the market it’s aimed at – and as the price has just dropped by almost £30, it looks a bargain at £249. But a camera that crashes and its issues around noise mean it cannot glean top marks in this test."
