I have a few cameras and this one is my favourite

 

I own several digital cameras, Samsung TL500/EX1; Pentax K100D (DSLR) and Sigma DP1 (large sensor compact). It surprises me that amidst such stiff competition I prefer using this camera over and above the others. Here are the reasons why:

My daughter really likes it!

 

I would consider my daughter an intermediate photographer with an excellent eye for good shots. After many days of searching the web, reading reviews of pocket cameras, I purchased the Ricoh because we had gone through Panasonic, Nikon, Pentax, and the...
