Ricoh has unveiled the Ricoh CX2, a new digital camera featuring a 10.7x (28-300 mm equivalent) superzoom lens in a compact body only 29.4 mm thick.
The new Ricoh CX2 inherits many popular features from its predecessor, the CX1, such as the unique expanded dynamic range; but also adds new features like full-resolution continuous shooting at 5 frames per second, Pre-AF and Continuous AF.
The lens is also new, and its 10.7x zoom ratio is quite an achievement given the compact dimensions of the CX2.
New scene modes such as 'high-contrast B&W mode' and 'miniaturize mode' have been added to stimulate shooting creativity, and various CX1 model 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.
The CX2 will be available at an SRP of £299.99.
