Group test: Waterproof Compact Cameras
2.8

It's summer in the northern hemisphere, and no doubt a lot of people reading this will be enjoying the hot weather, planning trips to local beaches and lakes. In our recent group test of compact 'travel zoom' cameras we covered 14 of the most versatile compact cameras currently on the market in terms of zoom range, but maybe some of you want something a little more rugged. Perhaps you want something you can even take into the water, as you take a refreshing dip, or maybe you're the adventurous type, and just want something that you don't need to worry about if it gets dropped or banged against a rock. That's where waterproof compact cameras come in. Like travel zooms, the waterproof/rugged market has expanded considerably in recent years, and most of the major manufacturers currently offer at least one camera in this class.

The Ricoh PX is an unassuming compact camera that is a lot tougher than it looks, being waterproof to 3m and shockproof to 1.5m. Ricoh's first entry into the all-action market also offers a 16 megapixel sensor, 5x zoom lens and 720 p video. Can the Ricoh PX take on the likes of the Olympus Tough range? Find out in our detailed Ricoh PX review.

Ricoh jumps out of the starter's gate with a boxy waterproof camera. At least the price is appealing.

Review : Ricoh Ricoh PX

Available in a choice of lime green, champagne silver or black (as in the case of the review model), the <b>Ricoh</b> PX is a waterproof, shockproof and dust-resistant digital camera. Perhaps I should have included the word %C2%93compact%C2%94 into that description as the camera certainly qualifies in this respect. The camera%C2%92s dimensions are 100 x 55 x 21.3cm in whatever mode or zoom level is currently being used.

Review : Ricoh PX Digital Camera

This is described as waterproof, I assume that applies when a partial sleeve is applied. What is more interesting is the zoom is not with the normal lens extension but by using a sort of periscope action inside the unit.
