Ricoh R10

 

Continuing on the success of the R8, Ricoh has introduced the R10. It includes most of the features that made the R8 so popular such as the 7.1x optical zoom and the 10-Megapixel imaging sensor. In order to separate it, however, Ricoh has added a 3"...

Ricoh R10 Review

 

Announced just 7 months after its predecessor, the R8, the new Ricoh R10 is the latest addition to Ricoh's 7x zoom digital compact camera line-up. Offering the same versatile 28-200mm focal length as the R8, the most significant change to the R10 is a...

So why, you may well ask, has the Ricoh R10 still only earned our Recommended award, despite now scoring 5 in three areas? There's still one big problem with this camera which there's no getting away from - noisy images. We thought the R7 had finally...

Ricoh R10

 

This is the 4th Ricoh I've owned starting with the fiirst Caplio R1. In my experience they just keep getting better with each iteration. So far this is the best. The menu system and ease of navigation with the 'toggle' button is just great. I am...

Not really a problem-only that I think the Fn button is a waste. Surely this could be used to give some more manual control over apperture or something

Ok, now that I've been using it for quite a while I can definitely say that this is a small gem. Compact, fast, extremely easy to use, perfectly logical menu system. The two customisable settings are very nice, set it to snap focus, then you can pull...

Nice camera, but.....

WHO I AM: I'm not a pro. I am a competent amateur who likes to have a camera on hand at all times as I spend much of my time in the outdoors (desert) in all kinds of weather conditions. I needed to replace my trusty Canon SD600 which after giving me...

This is a rockin' little point-and-shoot. Very powerful and versatile, but compact. I take it everywhere!

Product Specifications

In the briefest encounter with a fleeting subject, capture the beauty with precision and clarity. For every photographic situation, the RICOH R10 has both high resolution and the ease-of-use to put it at anyone's full command. In addition to its superior color reproduction, Smooth Imaging Engine III provides sophisticated image processing even in high-sensitivity shooting. This reduces noise without compromising resolution, the result being sharp and clear outlines and non-grainy images. Image setting functions enable you to change picture qualities (contrast, sharpness, color depth, black and white, sepia, etc.) while shooting. If you select "auto levels", the camera automatically adjusts tones to create a suitable level of brightness that limits whiteout and reduces loss of detail in dark areas when shooting high-contrast subjects. In both macro and normal shooting, the AE/AF targets can be shifted alone or together to any position on the screen. This enhances shooting freedom by enabling you to change focus and exposure settings without moving the camera, even if it is fixed to a tripod. The 3.0-inch 460,000-dot LCD monitor is convenient both when shooting and viewing images. Its high contrast and wide viewing angle make for easy viewing even when shooting outdoors. Still images in the camera can be enlarged and trimmed. The trimming is easily done by specifying the trimming frame and size.
