Ricoh Caplio GX100 Reviewed

The digital camera nuts over at DPReview have recently taken a look at the Ricoh Caplio GX100 which is the successor to the GX8. The GX100 has a three times optical zoom lens that has a wide angle ability offering around 20 degrees more wide angle capability than most cameras.

The GX100 offers RAW capture mode and lots of manual options making it more like an SLR than many digital cameras. The camera has 10 megapixels and a seven blade iris aperture. The LCD display is a 2.5” unit and power is via a rechargeable Li-Ion battery or AAA batteries.

Digital zoom of up to 4x is offered and the shutter speed on still shots can go 180 – 1/2000 of a second. Built-in flash is included and the camera has 26MB of internal storage and used SDHC/SD/MMC cards for further storage. In the end the camera isn’t as good as it thinks it is according to DPReview.
