The Ricoh Caplio GX100 is “totally unlike anything else on the market”, according to a recent review.
TrustedReviews. com reports that the new model - which comes with a 10.1-megapixel sensor and is the replacement for Rico’s GX8 camera - has the “quality, performance and versatility of a high-end semi-pro camera with the convenience and portability of a pocket compact”.
A unique feature is the option to attach an add-on electronic viewfinder with a tilting eyepiece to the camera’s external flash hot-shoe, the reviewer claimed, while other features included manual exposure options, a 2.5-inch display screen and CCD-shift image stabilisation technology.
The camera shares similar features to the Canon PowerShot G9, including a larger sensor, manual exposure and RAW capture, although the reviewer claims that the Ricoh Caplio GX100 has an advantage in terms of its smaller size and weight.
It measures 112mm x 58mm x 25mm and weighs around 250 grams when the lithium-ion rechargeable battery is inserted, although according to the manufacturer, the camera is also compatible with AAA batteries.
