Ricoh's CX1 camera gets reviewed



The kids at Photography Blog have finally got their hands on that Ricoh CX1 that won our respect not too long ago, and they've been cool enough to post a review online. The camera, the reviewer said, begins where the ol' R10 left off, throwing features like multi-pattern auto white balance, multi-target auto focus, and 4fps continuous shooting speed into the mix, making this 'the best Ricoh point-and-shoot yet.' That said, it can't all be groovy -- the review goes on to cite the camera's 'bog-standard' 640 x 480 / 30fps video and rudimentary face detection as 'nothing to write home about.' Image quality -- often a deal-breaker for this company -- has greatly improved, with a new 9 megapixel CMOS sensor sporting 'a now usable ISO range of 80-800.' Of course, the big news is the camera's high dynamic range. DR mode is, for the most part, 'radical and very effective.' But there's much more to it -- hit that read link for all the gory details.
