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.”
