Ricoh Digital Camera Reviews

"This semi-pro market is where Ricoh is aiming its Caplio GR Digital...The most obvious of these is the large LCD display...In fact, a viewfinder is an optional extra, and slides into the flash hotshoe on top of the GR Digital..." read more »

"Comparing these reviews to 540866 other Digital Compact Cameras reviews gives this product an overall alaScore™ 92/100 = Excellent...It also looks good, but its body does tend to get dirty...Its overall picture quality is good, but in some instances purple fringing will be noticeable in your shots..." read more »

"The Ricoh Caplio GX100 is a compact camera with ten megapixel resolution from a 1/1.75" image sensor, coupled to a 3x optical zoom lens...The most unusual feature of the Ricoh GX100 is that, in addition to its 2.5" LCD display with 230,000 pixel resolution, the camera can accept a hot-shoe mounted, removable electronic viewfinder - with tilt function for shooting low-to-the-ground - on which you can frame and review images...The Ricoh VF-1 external viewfinder is not included in the regular product bundle (although a separate product bundle dubbed the "Caplio GX100 VF KIT" does include the accessory...Also worthy of note is the Caplio GX100's Ricoh-branded zoom lens - uncommonly wide with a range of 24 - 72mm, and fairly bright to boot (f/2.5 to f/4.4 across the zoom range..." read more »

"The new Ricoh GX200 continues Ricoh's focused pursuit of the high-end, professional digital compact camera market...We've been testing the GX200 since before it was announced earlier this week, so carry on reading to find out if it's the ideal compact alternative to your bulky DSLR...The Ricoh GX200 is virtually identical to the older GX100 in terms of its design, so a lot of the comments that we made in our review of that camera will be repeated here...Despite its small dimensions, the Ricoh GX200 has a chunky rubberized handgrip that allows you to get a good grip, and there's a small area of the same material acting as a thumb rest on the rear of the body...Ricoh are well known for delivering responsive cameras, and the GX200 certainly continues that tradition..." read more »

"If you have read a review of the Ricoh R3 (or have a Ricoh R3) and want to know the differences between the R3 and the R4 there are really very few...On the R2 the zoom was slow and jerky but on the R4 it is smooth and fast so the steps are not required unless you want to set the focal length to a known value...One could therefore give the R4 high marks for handling...The lens is optically surprisingly good..." read more »

"The camera, measuring 123.9 x 36.4 x 56mm and weighing 160g, fits comfortably in the hand due to its rounded shape – although it is slightly too large to avoid causing an unsightly bulge when carried in a pocket...Resolutions up to 2048 x 1536 for still images and 320 x 240 for video are supported..." read more »

"The Ricoh G600 is a camera designed for extreme(ish) conditions: this 10-megapixel snapper is waterproof, dustproof and drop-proof...The G600 certainly looks rugged, with a rubberised frame in an industrial black and yellow colour scheme...The screen measures a decent 69mm (2.7-inches) corner-to-corner...This means you can snorkel with it, take it into the beach, and drop it from shoulder-height — but we wouldn't recommend scuba-diving with it, burying it, or dropping it off a building..." read more »

"Ricoh hopes its latest, the GX, will be a must-have for photographers looking for the perfect marriage between performance and cost...Resolution apart, all these features are unusual and very welcome in a consumer level compact – as is the fact that the GX lets photographers preserve the integrity of their files by shooting in TIFF format as well as the humble JPEG...If you’re thinking that this all sounds too good to be true, it is – almost..." read more »

"On paper at least the Ricoh Caplio GX8 looks like a very tempting prospect...So have Ricoh provided a level of image quality that matches the impressive feature list of the Caplio GX8...The recommended retail price of the Ricoh Caplio GX8 in the UK is £299 and in Europe it is €450...The Ricoh Caplio GX8 is not currently being distributed elsewhere..." read more »

"The Ricoh Caplio R5 was announced at the end of August, just 6 months after its predecessor, the R4...So is the Ricoh Caplio R5 worth considering if you're looking for a point and shoot digicam, and is it any better than the 6-month old R4...The Ricoh Caplio R5 has a 7.41 megapixel, 1/2.5 inch CCD that delivers 7.24 effective megapixels...The Ricoh Caplio R5 has a Vibration Correction function that helps to deliver sharper pictures free from handshake...The Ricoh Caplio R5 has a 2.5 inch translucent amorphous silicon TFT LCD which has 230,000 pixels and offers 100% scene coverage..." read more »
