The Ricoh CX6 certainly has a lot going for it. To start off with, the LCD screen more than matches any other advanced compact on the market. Add to that the entirely reasonable 10.7x optical zoom, the new addition of shutter and aperture priority shooting modes and a eminently usable layout and body design and, in theory, you should be on for a winner. ...

The Ricoh CX6 boasts a specification that sits it firmly in the advanced compact market. It’s 10.7x optical zoom and market-leading 1.23m-dot LCD screen, combined with the 10MP back-illuminated CMOS sensor, all add up to an impressive compact on paper. The compact also performs well in use, with Ricoh’s Hybrid AF impressing. Unfortunately the 10.7x zoom does present some image quality issues, and said sensor doesn’t quite deliver on it’s lofty low-light claims.

Ricoh bringt mit der CX6 eine Digitalkamera, die vieles richtig, aber auch einiges falsch macht. So liefert das Display eine der höchsten Auflösungen bisher, die Videofunktion arbeitet jedoch mit mickrigen 720p. Das Rauschverhalten der Digitalkamera war gut, der Dynamikumfang aber unterdurchschnittlich. ...

Sehr schnelle Reisezoom-Kamera mit vielen Einstell-Optionen und brillantem Display, jedoch enttäuschender Detailschärfe.

The Ricoh CX6 is a feature-packed camera ideal for carrying on your travels. It's great for macros and its 10.7x optical zoom lens means you can get close-up when out shooting. Image quality is good, with great colour reproduction and levels of noise throughout the ISO range up to ISO 1600. The CX6 is also fantastic at making sure you don't miss any of the action with an extremely fast focusing system and 5 fps full size image high-speed shooting.
