Ricoh Caplio GX100 10MP Digital Camera with 3x Wide Angle Zoom

Customer Ratings:

Digital compacts can be frustrating--endless menus, difficult access to manual control, screens that fade out in bright sun, no wide-angle, no RAW.... Not the Ricoh GX100! The control system is logical and allows customizing buttons to bring up features you use most often. There are two control dials, so you can, e.g., set aperture and shutter speeds quickly. It has an accessory electronic viewfinder (VF1 in the "kit"), so you can press the camera against your face for extra stability and see the image in bright sunlight. The lens goes from 24-70 (35 mm. equivalent), and there's an accessory lens to convert the wide end to 19 mm. For street shooting, "snap focus" sets the lens to hyperfocal distance, so the shutter release is nearly instantaneous. For Photoshop mavens, it shoots RAW along with JPEGs. Unlike some shiny little cameras, it has a great grip. It's fun to use and is built like a little tank. I've used it a lot and love it!
