Abstract: The Ricoh CX2 is not the slimmest compact camera on the market, nor would it be the most lightweight (at 185g) but it does have some compelling design features and capabilities in its favour.As successor to the CX1, the CX2 offers the same classy sty...
Focus is fast and accurate, even at the 300mm extreme. Colour fidelity and resolution are both outstanding. In fact the image quality at 300mm is about the best we have seen from a compact with such an extreme focal length range. The DR (dynamic range ...
There is some noise reduction effect (blurring of fine detail) even at low ISO speeds. The tiny joystick control is a tad touchy.
Ricoh, like Fujifilm, is a brand that stands in the shadow of the big names of Canon, Nikon, Sony and Panasonic. But Ricoh has a much longer history in cameras than the last two. Their digital offerings always feel as though they have been designed by ...

Für eine Kamera dieser Größe leistet die Ricoh CX2 Beachtliches und muss sich keinesfalls hinter der namhafteren Konkurrenz verstecken. Sehr gut ist den Ingenieuren die Abstimmung von Objektiv, Sensor und interner Bildverarbeitung gelungen: Keine Vign...
28-300mm zoom lens, useful dynamic range mode, high-contrast black-and-white filter, fast burst mode
Noise is present in images, not useful for low-light photography, some lens distortion
Despite some issues with noise, the Ricoh CX2 is an admirable compact camera. It has a huge 300mm lens, captures vibrant and sharp images, has useful scene modes, and is reasonably priced. Put it on your shopping list if you want a point-and-shoot cam...

Abstract: It's only been a few months since I reviewed the Ricoh CX1 . Ricoh has never been the most prolific of camera manufacturers, only launching a couple of new models a year and keeping its older designs in production long after faster-moving brands would hav...
10.7x optical zoom , Dynamic range mode , Fast burst performance
No HD video , Fairly slow lens , Terrible noise issues
The CX2 is an attractive proposition on the outside: a CMOS sensor, 10x optical zoom and wide-angle lens, but inside there's a host of noise issues....
Abstract: Ricoh's second CMOS-equipped digicam, the CX2, comes hard on the heels of the CX1, which we reviewed in March. It has the same 6.16 x 4.62 mm CMOS sensor with 9.3-megapixel (effective) resolution but boasts a new lens that provides 10.7x optical zoom a...
