Manual of product CX3
Editorial note
The Ricoh CX3 stands out for its exceptional image quality, thanks to its 10 MP CMOS sensor and a maximum resolution of 3648 x 2736 pixels, allowing for precise capture of every detail. Its 10.7x optical zoom and 51.4x digital zoom provide great flexibility for photographing distant subjects while maintaining superior image quality. Additionally, the built-in image stabilizer ensures sharp photos and videos even in motion, which is ideal for capturing active moments. The user experience is also very positive, facilitated by a 3-inch LCD screen with a resolution of 920,000 pixels, which allows for easy composition of images. The multiple autofocus modes, as well as manual exposure options and adjustable ISO sensitivity up to 3200, offer great flexibility to adapt to various lighting conditions. However, some drawbacks are worth noting. The maximum video resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels may seem insufficient compared to current standards, and the internal memory of 88 MB is relatively low, requiring the use of an external memory card for adequate storage. Furthermore, the absence of the PictBridge function limits direct printing options for photos. Finally, although the battery life is acceptable with 310 shots, it may not be ideal for extended sessions, requiring frequent recharges. In summary, the Ricoh CX3 offers good value for money with varied features and a modern design, but it has some limitations that may influence user choice, particularly regarding video and storage.Score details
