Compare Prices : Ricoh R10

Review summary: Ricoh's R10 is a very interesting proposition. Once you've gotten over the fact that it looks like a piece of crap, this relatively bulky (102×58x26mm, 168g) camera packs a ton of features into a relatively low asking price. In addition to its 7.1x ...

Verdict: You can get as close to the subject as 1cm at maximum wide angle and 25cm at maximum telephoto in Macro mode. And with face recognition the camera automatically identifies faces in a scene and optimises focus, exposure, and white balance. And for all ...

Review summary: ITS overall picture quality is great and the body looks good, but its does tend to get dirty - be prepared for smudgy fingerprints.

Pros: Well built and designed, easy to use, good for macro shots, has a regular mini-USB port, smooth zoom function

Cons: Body attracts a lot of dirt, noticeable purple fringing, no full manual mode

Verdict: This is a point-and-shoot compact camera that's suitable for any type of photography. It also looks good, but its body does tend to get dirty. Its overall picture quality is good, but in some instances purple fringing will be noticeable in your shots.

Review summary: The latest in Ricoh's long-running series of zoom compacts features a 10MP sensor, 7.1x zoom and 28mm wide angle.

Review summary: Ricoh isn't known for building sleek cameras but despite the Ricoh R10's relative bulk, it has only a 2.5in display. However, Ricoh has given the R10 a 7.1x optical zoom, which we found far more critical to taking shots.

Verdict: The Ricoh R10 is, indeed, something of a photographer's camera. With the R10 you feel as though you're getting a 'proper' camera, with real buttons and over which you have real control over how each shot turns out.
