Ricoh CX5 Digital Camera

A company perhaps better known for photocopiers and large printers but they have produced digitalcameras for a while. However this is the first of their units to have come my way, but all decent recent units have similar features.

Ricoh CX5

Ricoh is most definitely a niche camera brand, and it appeals to a particular sub-section of photographers. Class-leading features like quick autofocus and a bright screen don't always make up for the lack of other essential options like RAW capture and manual controls.
Pros:
  • Quick
  • effective AF
  • Excellent macro performance
  • Eye-Fi compatibility
  • Now has HDMI out
Cons:
  • No RAW
  • No manual controls
  • ISO performance over 200 needs work
  • Design flaws mean the camera slips out of hand easily
