Ricoh PX compact digital camera brings on the adventure for you

Ricoh Japan is on the go with two tough cameras in two consecutive months of May and June this year. First it was Ricoh G700SE and now it is Ricoh PX Series. While the former was accepted as a genuinely tough camera with JIS dustproof, the later features a 2.7-inch 230k-dot high contrast LCD screen with 16 megapixel camera and 5x optical zoom. It is dust and water proof. Users would have the freedom to shoot HD movies with it up to a frame size of 1280 × 720 pixels.

This one is meant to takes upon the toughies from Konica, Minolta, Nikon, Sony and Olympus. Comparing it with other products available in the market now gives one quite a shake. User suitability, quality, price and size of this tough'un can beat other contenders as also on the tech count. Did you get that support for X2-series Eye-Fi SD memory cards with a built-in wireless LAN feature before? This enables the user to automatically upload photos to a computer or photo-sharing service.

Camera shake correction, slip proof camera jacket, anti-fingerprint protection coating and an anti-reflective coating seem to be tailor made to satisfy the customer. And, Ricoh rightly claims to attract more customers towards this new addition in its product range. Its wide viewing angle too makes adventurers go to a high. The company says that the super resolution twist technology in PX range gives the wide-angle 28mm to 140mm telephoto lens the equivalent of 10x optical zoom or a focal length of 280mm. Adding in the 4.8x digital zoom results in ratios equivalent to 1,344mm. Then, SR technology, a 4-pixel addition technology to aid shooting at night, image sensor, image stabilizer, ISO speed range from 100 to 3200 also are notable features of this newly launched compact cam. There are 5 trendy colors to choose from and the Ricoh PX series begins at $299.
