Inside the shell, the unit has the company’s Smooth Imaging Engine IV and a top notch CMOS sensor that will let you take shots at up to 120fps, says Ricoh.
Another feature of the unit is its 7.1x optical wide-angle zoom lens (28-200mm in 35mm film equivalent focal length). The CX1’s expanded dynamic range of 12 EV-equivalent makes it possible to capture high-contrast scenes in a way not possible with earlier models, claims Ricoh.
In addition, functions such as multi-pattern auto white balance (sets white balance based on the light sources of segregated areas of the image) and multi-target AF (shoots consecutive images at seven focal distances automatically defined by the camera) enables the camera to create images giving an almost naked-eye impression.
The CX1 has a 3.0-inch 920,000-dot VGA monitor and high-speed continuous shooting functions at approximately 4 frames/second.
The camera will be available in Australia in March this year.
