Ricoh has released standard zoom GXR module with 16MP APS-C sensor

First introduced in December 2009, the GXR is a revolutionary interchangeable unit camera system in which lenses can be changed by mounting camera units that integrate lens, image sensor, and image processing engine into a single unit.
The new RICOH LENS A16 24-85mm F3.5-5.5 brings together a newly developed 24-85 mm wide-angle zoom lens, an APS-C size CMOS sensor, and the proven Smooth Imaging Engine IV to create a unit with high image quality, high power of expression, and high flexibility.

This camera unit features a 23.6 mm×15.7 mm (APS-C size) 16M CMOS sensor. In combination with the image processing engine Smooth Imaging Engine IV, this image sensor makes it possible to shoot high-quality images with smooth tonal gradations, as well as low noise and high-resolution.
2 Diverse shooting functions and high operability
The function for recording a JPEG image simultaneously with the RAW image has been expanded so that it is now possible to record only the RAW image. 3 Highly precise focusing
The photographer can create a unique image by just pressing the shutter release button.

Up to 20 images can be flagged.
Ricoh has released a 24-85mm equivalent F3.3-5.5 zoom module with a 16MP APS-C sensor for its GXR system. The latest camera unit offers a flexible focal length range that starts slightly wider than the average kit zoom, without making the camera excessively large. Announced back in November, it is the first zoom module for the system to offer APS-C image quality. If our suspicions are correct and it uses the excellent Sony 16MP sensor, this promises a lot both in terms of image quality and focus speed (the faster readout of the sensor helps contrast-detection systems to more quickly ascertain correct focus).Ricoh has released a 24-85mm

Ricoh G600 reviews

                                                                Ricoh G600



Ricoh G600 is the most powerful model the company ricoh. When we say the most powerful, we think the camera resistant to dust, mud, water resistant, and fall from 2 meters. The camera will be of particular interest for adventurers and hunters, fishermen who want great photos in tricky weather conditions.

The new Ricoh camera is equipped with a powerful flash with effective range of up to 10m and ISO3200 sensitivity for low-light photography. Excellent outdoor visibility with wide angle and high contrast monitor. You can correct the brightness and contrast of a still image and record the resulting image. The high-quality CCD has an effective 10 million pixels. Ricoh's excellent technology provides clear image quality and high-grade photography functions that can be powerful tools in vigorous and challenging scenes.

If you're on the lookout for a slim, stylish, compact digital camera you can stop reading this review now, because the 10-megapixel Ricoh G600 isn't for you. It's a pretty rare treat for a compact camera to include this feature.
Along the top of the camera body is a shutter button, a power button and a simple scene mode dial.

There is also a ‘Scene' option for choosing image modes that best suit a variety of different shooting subjects. There's none of your ‘Landscape' and ‘Portrait' options here. Generous too is the range of ISO settings available, varying from Auto/ISO 64 to ISO 3200, meaning you have greater control over capturing images in awkward lighting conditions.

Taking SD memory cards, the Ricoh G600 has an internal memory capacity of 52MB. This means you can take around thirteen high-res images and keep them on your camera if you don't have a memory card handy. Image quality is a little disappointing and there's not much in the way of features.
