As with most advanced compacts currently on the market, the Ricoh CX6 isn’t the smallest compact camera. That being said, the body is certainly small enough to fit in to a trouser pocket and the bulk is warranted, owing to the specification the Ricoh CX6 Camera Review delivers.
The Ricoh CX6 camera features a high-brightness LCD display which is approximately 1.7 times brighter that the previous model for better visibility outdoors. The Ricoh CX6 compact camera also adds a function for automatic adjustment of brightness based on the level of brightness of the subject, and this make it possible to minimize the loss of visibility that can occur due to changes in the shooting environment. In addition, for telephoto shooting, the new zoom assist monitor function displays a small picture on the LCD display so that you can always check the framing of the shot.
The new aperture/shutter-speed priority modes enable you to more richly express the atmosphere of the subject, and the snap movie function lets you more easily enjoy shooting movies. A release button especially for movies has also been added, and a wider range of functions are available for movie shooting. In a first for the CX series, the new Ricoh CX6 digital camera has a new release button especially for movie photography. Now you can easily enjoy shooting HD video clips even without a mode dial change.
The presence of both a backlit CMOS sensor and Ricoh’s Smooth Imaging Engine IV is no doubt aimed at giving photographers more confidence to utilize the full extent of the Ricoh CX6 Charger 100-3200 ISO range without having to worry about noise.
One of the standout features on Ricoh cameras of late has been its new Hybrid AF technology, and the good news is that it features on the CX6. The system combines Contrast AF technology with an independent AF sensor for ‘ultra-high-speed’ autofocus and the promise of AF speeds of as little as 0.1 seconds throughout the full 28-300mm focal range. Continuous shooting is another area in which the CX6 is no slouch, offering a burst mode of around 5 frames per second at full resolution. An ultra-high-speed continuous shooting rate of 120 frames per second is also possible, although images captured are only 640 x 480 in resolution, and the burst mode only lasts for one second.
The rectangular body features a front panel that is bulbous towards the right hand edge, forming a type of hand grip in conjunction with a rubberized thumb rest on the rear panel. Said rear panel is relatively light on buttons – four settings buttons featuring, along with a dedicated record button for access to HD video capture and playback button Ricoh Camera Chargers . An adjustment toggle stick compensates for this lack of function access thanks to its customizability, while a mode dial sits on the model’s top plate for easy access to the various shooting modes.
