Ricoh CX3 Pro Reviews

expertreviews‘s review Edit

The lens isn’t as sharp as on other compact ultra-zoom cameras, and the high price means it's not particularly good value, either.

Compared to the other long-lens compact here, the S8000, the Ricoh is a winner. It takes superb images and performed admirably during the tests, and although it costs about £50 more than the S8000 that's money well spent.

Performance has definitely improved across the board with the Ricoh CX3. There's a better noise performance at the higher ISO settings and the backlit sensor has managed to increase how the camera responds to light. Noise has blighted Ricoh compacts in the past so it looks like the new sensor could be their saviour.

PC Advisor‘s review Edit

The Ricoh CX3 is a solidly constructed digital compact with a powerful zoom and reliable imaging skills. It’s also relatively easy to operate, thanks to a good layout of sufficient hard buttons to get you to the essentials, while the LCD display and its menus are all top quality.

Only a lack of manual control lets this smart snapper down.

Pocket-lint‘s review Edit

So while the Ricoh CX3 may look prim, proper and just a little bit boring from the outside, start to strip away its layers and it turns into a bit of a tiger. Having such a big zoom and resulting broad focal range in a small-ish camera is a real boon, as we've found in the past when using the feature on Panasonic's TZ range, basically letting the user capture shots that most other compacts can't quite manage. Going back to a 3x optical zoom model after this feels like trying to take photographs with one hand tied behind your back.

The Ricoh CX3 is only a minor upgrade of the CX2, but the improved performance, HD video recording and marginally better image quality ensure that it can still compete with its more popular rivals. Build quality, handling and ease of use are all excellent, performance is fantastic and picture quality is up there with the best.

PhotographyBLOG‘s review Edit

As with its predecessor, there's a certain sense of deja-vu about the CX3, coming so soon after the near-identical CX2 model. Current CX owners will feel somewhat aggrieved at Ricoh's aggressive release strategy, but would-be purchasers of a fast, easy-to-use compact camera that delivers excellent images should definitely consider the Ricoh CX3.
