Ricoh's pocket cameras have long been rated by photo enthusiasts, and this model ups the ante for what we expect these days from a compact with its high resolution screen and impressive results, even if it does appear a little po-faced and serious in...
Ricoh's CX3 isn't much of an upgrade over the CX2 but it does offer HD video recording, which makes it a useful hybrid for people wishing to shoot stills and video with the same camera. Its pictures are a little noisy and it can struggle in bright...
