The Ricoh CX1 looks solidly built, has a decent set of features and on the whole is pretty easy to use. Picture quality out of the box is pretty good too and if you’re prepared to spend some time tweaking the settings then you can be rewarded with good results. Overall this is a pretty good camera with some nice touches.
