Providing you don't need RAW capture or manual controls, the CX4 is a pretty decent camera — even if it is a letdown compared to other Ricoh models that have come before.
A minor upgrade to the CX3 model with six new scene pre-sets and revamped cosmetics.Ricoh's CX4 is a relatively minor upgrade to the CX3, which was announced in February this year. The 10-megapixel back-illuminated CMOS sensor and Smooth Imaging Engine IV image processor appear unchanged, as does the 10.7x optical wide-angle zoom lens. Video capture remains at 720p maximum resolution.
It hit the doorstep, all blushing pink in colour… Ricoh’s latest entry into the compact stakes – the Ricoh CX4. This pink is a startling colour and, just to set your mind at peace, it’s also available in a more sedate silver or black. Phew! Seemingly a run-of-the-mill digicam, the CX4 has a few tricks
A minor update over the CX3, but the lower price makes this a serious contender for the compact ultra-zoom crown.
A solidly constructed, easy to use, fast and overall awesome mega-zoom compact Ricoh camera
Another busy 6 months has passed in the digital photography world, and right on cue, the Ricoh CX4 appears as the replacement for the already out-of-date CX3 compact camera. New features include a reworked body, improved image stabilisation system, subject-tracking auto-focus mode, and some creative filters. The CX4 retains the 10.7x lens, 720p HD movies, 3 inch screen, and 10 megapixel back-illuminated CMOS sensor of its predecessor. Read the World's first Ricoh CX4 review to find out if it can keep up with the travel-zoom competition.
The CX4 is the latest advanced compact in the CX range from Ricoh. It has an eye-catching specification, but does it offer enough to compete with the big guns?

The Ricoh CX4 features a 10.7x zoom lens and 10 megapixel CMOS sensor
It hardly seems like yesterday when I took a look at the Ricoh CX3 compact digital camera. Actually it was more like four months ago but that hardly gives the company enough time to develop and manufacture a new model. Yet here we are with the latest offering from Ricoh. Not surprisingly this new product is entitles CX4.
Is the CX4 an expensive point and shoot, or does it offer something extra?
Ricoh CX4 is a 10.0MP Small Sensor Superzoom camera with a 1/2.3-inch sized BSI-CMOS sensor and 28-300 mm F3.5-5.6 lens. Read our CX4 review to find its pros and cons.
