Kind of Camera

As someone who just simply wants to point and shoot, this product just works.

Photography Skillset

Point and shoot - If you're not quite the expert yet or you're just getting started in the world of photography, the Ricoh CX1 will satisfy your needs.

Video skill level

Simple clips - As a videography noob, this Ricoh CX1 video camera should be sufficient for your needs.

Even though recording videos is a passion, you're not necessarily looking to go pro. You're content with making tweaks to a couple of settings to suit the shot you're about to take. The CX1 is very accessible which makes it suitable for this.

Video Scenarios

The Ricoh CX1, is a very competent option when it comes to recording occasions and related activities. Also, the presence of its built-in Image stabilizer does help with making your clips look smooth and steady.

Its always great to capture moments of delight at home or while spending time with family and friends on an outing. For this, the Ricoh CX1 is a great companion to have.

For your Video posts - This camera comes with an image stabilizer which reduces any wobbling in your recordings. In addition, the size of the image sensor (6.17 x 4.56 mm mm), helps with the actual quality of the recorded image. 

Photo Scenarios

There are times when you just want to take simple but great photos of things around you without bothering too much about camera settings. For that purpose, the CX1 is a really good choice. 

While taking those action shots during the day's event, you'll be aiming to keep your subject matter in sharp focus while they're in motion. The Auto Focus Tracking capability that comes with this camera helps with this.

Taking photos while underwater is a lot of fun. You'll be able to bathe the subject of your photograph with the colours and hues only found when taking shots in an aquatic environment.

Sometimes while on sightseeing or on a tour, you can only observe things from a distance. Which is why the zoom capability on this camera comes in handy in that situation.

To capture mother nature in her full beauty requires a good eye and a camera that can adequately handle landscape scenarios. This model from Ricoh is good fit as it's got the ability to focus on multiple parts of your picture frame.

Style

It's an eye-catching package with a bright and refreshing look about it. It could even play the role of an accessory to compliment a specific sense of style.

Whether you want to blend in, or have a camera that doesn’t attract unwanted attention, the basic design of the CX1 fits the bill.

Product Description

Designed around everyday needs for portability, the Ricoh CX1 is the compact point-and-shoot camera for those who are constantly on the go. Weighing just 180g, the CX1 features a lightweight and slim design that you won't even notice after you slip it in your pocket. Not only does this camera offer top-notch portability, but it doesn't miss a beat when it comes to quality either thanks to a 9.29MP CMOS sensor that delivers high-resolution photographs in full clarity and detail. Whether you're in the back row of a formal event or observing wildlife in nature, the 7.1x Optical Zoom allows you to remain in the heart of the action at all times. This functions perfectly in tandem with the sensor-shift image stabilization system, which is constantly working to ensure your shots are steady and blur-free. Elsewhere, the built-in 3-inch LCD screen features an easy-to-use interface so you can breeze through any framing, reviewing and adjusting with ease.
