Manual of product CX2
Editorial note
The Ricoh CX2 is a compact camera that stands out for its exceptional image quality thanks to a 9.29 MP CMOS sensor. Its 10.7x optical zoom, combined with an integrated image stabilizer, allows for capturing precise details even from a distance, ensuring sharp photos and videos, even in motion. The 3-inch LCD screen with a resolution of 920,000 pixels offers an immersive visual experience, making it easier to compose images. However, the Ricoh CX2 has some limitations. The maximum video resolution of 640 x 480 pixels may restrict video quality, making it difficult to capture moments with fine details, especially in low-light environments. Additionally, while the 88 MB internal memory is sufficient for occasional use, it may prove inadequate for users wishing to store a large number of photos or videos without additional memory cards. The lack of a digital SLR mode and automatic ISO sensitivity may also limit options for more experienced photographers. In terms of performance, the Ricoh CX2 scores 76, reflecting good image quality while highlighting its limitations in video. The features are varied with suitable scene modes, but the absence of an SLR mode may restrict choices for savvy users. The battery life is satisfactory, with a score of 78, but users should keep in mind the need for memory cards. Overall, the Ricoh CX2 is a solid choice for those looking for a compact camera that offers good image quality and suitable features, while being aware of its limitations in terms of video and storage.Score details
