The Ricoh CX1 has been introduced by Ricoh in 2009. This is the first Ricoh camera to use a CMOS sensor. It allows it to operate at four frames/sec and perform hi-speed continuous shooting.
The Ricoh CX1 received a mainly favourable reception from independent reviewers.
Best4Reviews.com said that the CX1 was
"a highly specified, well crafted camera with a host of very clever features that really work. The Ricoh CX1 is however a machine for the more advanced user and offers image quality to match, for those that know what they’re doing."[2]
IT Reviews concluded that:
"Ricoh has managed to pack a lot under the stylish hood of the CX1, including some welcome new features like very high-speed continuous shooting and increased dynamic range, plus multi-targeting AF and WB."[3]
