Despite its meagre share of the digital camera market, Ricoh has always been one of the great innovators in the industry. When every other major camera manufacturer is content to push out carbon-copy ranges of almost identical cameras, Ricoh is not afraid to try something different.
Its range of cameras may be small compared to the likes of Canon, Sony or Fujifilm, but with superb models like the Caplio R7, GR Digital, GR Digital II and GX8 it offers more versatility and quality than most other manufacturers do with five times the number of models.Today’s camera is another unique concept. The GX100 is officially the replacement for the GX8, but it is not only totally different from that camera, it is also totally unlike anything else on the market. With the GX100, Ricoh has set out to combine the quality, performance and versatility of a high-end semi-pro camera with the convenience and portability of a pocket compact.
