Value & Verdict
Ricoh CX5 review – Value
The Ricoh CX5 is currently
available for around its RRP of £259.99. This places it firmly in to the
advanced compact category and up against some tough competition. When
you consider what its competition offer, and despite its excellent image
quality, you’d have to say that its lacking in relation to its peers.
Ricoh CX5 review – Verdict
The Ricoh CX5 is a worthy addition to the CX series, and remains strong in the core areas in which is the CX series is known to excel. However, it suffers from the same failings as previous models have, and still doesn’t feature Raw capture or full manual shooting controls. Overall, once again the CX series is just a few small tweaks away from being a great advanced compact.
