Ricoh CX5 pocket camera
I titled this review "pocket camera" because it is way beyond "point-and-shoot." The CX5 is chock full of features that would normally be found in a much more expensive SLR, and more.

There are not a lot of differences between the new Ricoh CX5 camera and the Ricoh CX4 that preceded it. Both enjoy a 10-megapixel CMOS sensor and 10.7x optical zoom lens, and physically they don't look much different.
Pros:
- 10.7x optical zoom
- strong build quality
- excellent macro capability
- fun creative modes
- supports EyeFi SD cards
Cons:
- Tracking autofocus was a little too jumpy
- auto white balance wasn't always accurate
- noticeable noise above ISO 400

Ricoh CX5
The Ricoh CX5 is a new 10 megapixel point-and-shoot compact camera featuring a 10.7x, 28-300mm zoom lens.

[REVIEW-RICOH CX5 compact camera]
This 10 megapixel camera has a 28–300mm lens (film equivalent). Stabilisation is by sensor shift. The 75mm LCD is outstanding, with very high resolution. Construction quality is good but on-body controls are sparse.
Pros:
- Automatic white balance is outstanding
- We took photos in a weird mix of florescent, daylight and tungsten and had good results every time
- The super resolution function works well
- Images up to ISO400 are free of annoying digital noise.
Cons:
- The lens at its 300mm extension is poor
- With the digital zoom boost it is ridiculous
- Why do they do it? We didn't get one acceptable photo at the zoom limit

Ricoh CX5
Even if the quality of the image is good, the new Ricoh CX5 seems to be incomplete. This digital camera was made for professionals, but it forgot its purpose somewhere on the way.
