Ricoh CX3 gets back-illuminated CMOS sensor, much geek lust
Posted in: 720p, camera, point and shoot, PointAndShoot, Today's Chili
Just like clockwork, here’s Ricoh — six months after its last CX series refresh — with a new superzoom point-and-shooter to tempt us into breaking open those piggy banks. The package on offer is compelling: there’s a new 10 megapixel back-illuminated CMOS sensor, an enhanced noise reduction algorithm borrowed from the GR Digital III, and a 3-inch 920k-dot LCD, while the 10.7x optical zoom lens (28-300mm in 35mm equivalence) is carried over from the CX2. 720p video recording — fast becoming a standard feature in compact cameras — is present and accounted for, with recording in 16:9 ratio available to the ubiquitous Motion JPEG format. The CX3 is arriving this month, with early prices of AU$499 ($441 in US currency) matching the cost of the current generation.
