Ricoh announces the CX3

Ricoh Co., Ltd. today announced the development and release of the CX3, a new digital camera featuring a high magnification 10.7x (28-300 mm) optical wide-angle zoom lens, a back-illuminated CMOS sensor, and an enhanced noise reduction function.

Main Features of CX3 include:

New 10million megapixel back illuminated CMOS sensor
28-300mm 10.7x optical zoom
Large 3.0" 920,000 dot VGA LCD monitor
New Pet face recognition
Auto scene mode
Anti blur function
1cm Macro
Easy shooting mode
5 frames per sec
1280 × 720 pixel HD movies

The CX3 uses the noise reduction algorithm introduced on the GR Digital III. Performing noise reduction processing on the signal immediately after it is output by the back-illuminated CMOS sensor makes it possible to effectively reduce the noise that tends to occur in images shot at high-sensitivity settings.

Ricoh's original retracting lens system made it possible to fit the high magnification 10.7x optical wide-angle zoom lens in a thin 29.4mm body that is both easy t carry and easy to use. This lens can handle a wide range of shooting situations, including powerful telephoto shots as wide-angle shooting.

By just pointing the camera, "scene auto mode" will switch to the optimum shooting settings. The camera identifies the type of scene being photographed ( portrait, sports, night portrait, landscape, nightscape, macro mode etc ) and automatically switches to the optimum shooting settings.

Many discoveries await in a world unseen by the naked eye. To make those discoveries, the CX3 has even better high-speed continuous shooting functions. With speeds from 5 frames/sec. to ultra-high-speed 120 frames/sec., you will catch the moment!

The large, high-resolution LCD monitor has a wide viewing angle and high contrast. With sRGB comparison of 100% for colour reproduction range, it vividly reproduces image colours.

The CX3 will be available at SRP £299.99
