The new RICOH R10 is the successor model to the very popular RICOH R8 ( launched March 7, 2008), which featured a 7.1x optical wide-angle zoom lens, a high-resolution 10 megapixel CCD, Smooth Imaging Engine III, and a body combining operability and portability.
Inheriting many distinctive characteristics from its predecessor, the RICOH R10 also has a wide range of advanced capabilities, such as (1) a 3.0-inch 460,000-dot HVGA monitor, (2) the electronic level that is a very popular feature on the GR DIGITALII (launched November 2007) and the GX200 (launched July 2008), and (3) a flag function enabling quick call-up of selected images.
Inheriting the RICOH R8 design concept "A tool you will want to use every day," the RICOH R10 has a top cover with the same beauty and solid, metal feel. And an easier-to-hold grip has been added to further increase ease of use as a photographic tool.
Ricoh has launched the Ricoh CX2 advanced digital camera : The Ricoh CX2. This new compact camera featuring a high magnification 10.7x (28-300 mm) optical wide-angle zoom lens in a compact camera body only 29.4 mm thick. The Ricoh CX2 camera is capable of 5 frame/second high-speed continuous shooting of still images with the maximum number of megapixels. The new CX2 from Ricoh inherits many popular camera features from its predecessor, the Ricoh CX1, such as the high image quality and expanded dynamic range made possible by image processing engine Smooth Imaging Engine IV and a high-speed image processing CMOS image sensor.
Ricoh CX2 camera features
The Ricoh CX2 digital camera enhances functions that expand photo possibilities in a number of areas, including a 10.7x optical zoom lens that expands shooting capabilities from wide-angle through telephoto range, high-speed continuous shooting (approx. 5 frames/sec. at maximum number of pixels) functions so you won't miss the target scene, and the easy-to-use Auto Focus functions Pre-AF and Continuous Auto Focus. New scene modes such as "high-contrast B&W mode" and "miniaturize mode" have been added to stimulate shooting creativity, and various CX1 camera functions have received enhancements, such as the addition of face recognition to easy shooting mode and the addition of an AUTO option for automatically defining the range expansion effect in dynamic range double shot mode.

Ricoh GX200 Digital Camera
A super wide-angle high performance 24-72 mm/f2.5 (wide) - f4.4(telephoto) zoom lens with superb optical performance comparing favorably to SLR interchangeable lenses. Attach the unique tilting electronic viewfinder, linked to the focal distance to zoom and frame your subject with the feel of an SLR or medium format camera and add GX200 host of versatile accessories to enter a wider realm of creative photography. For the photographer who knows the depth and joy of photographic expression, the GX200 transcends the limitations of a compact camera.
Ricoh GRD III Digital Camera
The Ricoh GRD III continued the tradition of compact, well designed cameras with a high quality GR 28mm lens. Where it is different from it’s predecessors is that the lens is now a whole stop faster than the first GR1 lens, which was a f2.8 lens the new GRD III lens is a newly designed f1.9 lens!
This is very good news and shows that Ricoh have been listening to the requests from users to incorporate a faster lens for The Ricoh GRD III . There are currently no compact cameras out there with lenses faster than f2.0 and there were only a few Olympus cameras available with f1.8 lenses but these were bigger and started at 35mm.
The other new features are a slightly bigger 1/1.7? sensor, new improved and userdefined Snap AF mode, a great 3? LCD screen with 920,000 pixels and VGA resolution, faster 5fps continous RAW shooting, S-mode, 3 improved ‘My Setting’ modes, improved AF speed, the ability to costomize the hue and saturation of each color (orange, green, blue, red and magenta), a DR mode (JPG only), closer macro focusing at 1cm and the new Multi-Pattern Auto WB.
Ricoh has also been listening to concerns and did not increase the number of pixels on The Ricoh GRD III sensor and kept it at 10 MP although they had the choice between 10MP and 17MP. Instead they have been working to improve the noise performance and increase the sensitivity. The sensor is completely new and offers the added advantage of cell quality and pixel pitch compared to the older CCD sensors.
Together wth the fast f1.9 lens it will make the GRD III one of the best compact cameras for low light shooting.
