Ricoh CX3

 

Ricoh's high-performance zoom compact now comes with HD video

Impeccable build quality ; Very fast ; Very fast

Low quality 3200 ISO setting ; No manual exposure controls ; Occasional over-exposure

The Ricoh CX3 is only a minor upgrade of the CX2, but the improved performance, HD video recording and marginally better image quality ensure that it can still compete with its more popular rivals. Build quality, handling and ease of use are all...

Ricoh CX3 compact camera

 

Ricoh might not make the coolest looking digital compacts - in fact, design wise, they're uniformly rather drab. But at least the manufacturer channels its efforts towards where it matters most, namely the cameras' image quality plus useful wide-angle...

Broad, creatively expansive focal range thanks to implementation of 10.7x optical zoom, excellent LCD visibility due to higher resolution screen that isn't normally found in its class

Priced at a slight premium for what it is, basically, a point and shoot camera, introduced very soon after the relatively identical CX2

So while the Ricoh CX3 may look prim, proper and just a little bit boring from the outside, start to strip away its layers and it turns into a bit of a tiger. Having such a big zoom and resulting broad focal range in a small-ish camera is a real boon,...

Ricoh CX3 review

 

The lens isn't as sharp as on other compact ultra-zoom cameras, and the high price means it's not particularly good value, either.

Ricoh CX3 review

 

At 205g, the Ricoh CX3 is at the slightly weighty end of digital cameras that earn the compact name. And measuring 100x59x28mm, it's also a little fatter than the norm. But with a generous 10.7 optical zoom from the 28-300mm lens, and 10-megapixel...

The Ricoh CX3 is a solidly constructed digital compact with a powerful zoom and reliable imaging skills. It’s also relatively easy to operate, thanks to a good layout of sufficient hard buttons to get you to the essentials, while the LCD display and...

Ricoh CX3 review

 

Ricoh's latest compact packs a new sensor promising low-light loveliness. Is it the ultimate ‘night out' compact?

A low-light maestro with plenty more besides, but may be a little too heavyweight for some

There is a lot to like about the CX3, such as its classic design, intelligent focusing and 10.7x optical zoom.Yet despite the impressive automatic exposure modes, I was frustrated by the lack of manual exposure controls.That said, the improvements in...

Ricoh CX3 Camera : Ricoh CX3

 

While not the first name you may think of regarding digital cameras, Ricoh has some interesting products such as the CX3 model.

Aimed at beginners, Scene Auto Mode attempts to take out the guess work and provide the user with a worry-free option. Generally this works quite well. Normal Scene Mode offers you a choice of 13 types of subject. You can select from options that...

Ricoh CX3

 

An innovative compact that is easy-to-use

The Ricoh CX3 is a likeable point-and-shoot pocket camera, which is also a great all-round performer. It'll be good as a DSLR backup or as a primary camera
