Quick review

The good
Handling, LCD, low ISO image quality, easy to use, features, build, auto level indication
The bad
No optical viewfinder, high ISO image noise, complex menu system
Verdict
Ricoh’s new CX1 features some unique new kit that combine to help create a rather special little digital compact. Image quality is excellent at lower ISOs and the high-resolution screen helps compensate for the lack of an optical viewfinder: a cracking little camera that’s worth every penny
