THE RICOH GX200 HAS JUST BEEN REVIEWED BY GEEKANOIDS...CLICK HERE TO READ THE FULL REVIEW

Viewfinder KitA super wide-angle high performance 24-72 mm/f2.5 (wide) - f4.4(telephoto) zoom lens with superb optical performance comparing favorably to SLR interchangeable lenses. Attach the unique tilting electronic viewfinder, linked to the focal distance to zoom and frame your subject with the feel of an SLR or medium format camera and add GX200 host of versatile accessories to enter a wider realm of creative photography. For the photographer who knows the depth and joy of photographic expression, the GX200 transcends the limitations of a compact camera.

The Power Of Natural Expression
A new imaging engine with great resolution and greatly reduced noise. Sharp images all the way to the picture's edge with natural gradations and coloration even in high-sensitivity shooting situations: that is the power of the Smooth Imaging Engine III image processor. With thorough noise reduction measures in both its circuit design and algorithms, the GX200 effectively eliminates noise without sacrificing resolution or saturation.  Noise reduction ON or OFF depending on sensitivity. It is possible to set the noise reduction function ON/OFF according to the shooting environment. Since the noise reduction can be set to turn on at a specific ISO sensitivity level-such as OFF for low sensitivity and ON for ISO401 and above-noise reduction can be fine tuned to the photographer's style.  For easy close-ups, the macro function shoots as close as 1 cm. The macro function brings the camera to the subject, with a minimum distance of 1 cm in wide angle and 4 cm in telephoto. Not just point and shoot those flowers and insects large, the GX200 offers a wide range of creative intentions, such as emphasizing perspective using wide-macro and making the theme conspicuous by blurring the background using tele-macro. There is also a zoom macro capability for greater magnification than is possible with standard macro functions. Convenient for fine tuning focus and exposure when a tripod is used, the AE/AF target shift function greatly expands the pleasures of close-up photography. Up to three "My Setting" mode options can be defined.  With "My Setting" mode, frequently used shooting settings can be preset and switched to in an instant. With the GX200, the number of options has been expanded to three. It is also possible to change the shooting mode from the shooting menu, so there is no need to go to the trouble of revising custom settings each time. Function button for one-push switching between functions.  Two Fn (function) buttons enable direct changes reflecting the photographer's preferences. One-push mode change functions are assigned to each button. For instantaneous switching, pre-select and register frequently used functions such as picture quality mode and AF mode. Don't let sudden photo chances get away.  |  | With Levelling

Electronic level enables fast and precise camera levelling. Keeping the camera level with respect to the subject is a basic requirement for making full use of a wide-angle lens. That's why the GX200 has an internal electronic leveller which lets you view the horizontal or vertical indicator while watching the LCD display. The photographer can quickly ensure that shots are aligned horizontally and vertically. The level indicator can also be viewed with the electronic viewfinder (in both normal and tilted positions). This makes it possible to concentrate on shooting without taking your eye off the subject. Continuous shooting functions for fast reaction. With its new high-volume buffer memory, the GX200 can do exposure auto bracketing and continuous shooting of up to five images, even in high-image-quality RAW, giving shooting abilities approaching SLR levels.

Color bracketing simultaneously shoots multiple images for varied impressions. With one shutter push, three images-color, B&W, and B&W (TE)-are recorded. Works with a diverse feel can be easily created without post-shooting image processing. White balance compensation for "just right" color. White balance is a major factor in determining coloring and the impression that a photograph makes. The GX200 allows for fine tuning of the white balance compensation when taking pictures while viewing the LCD display or electronic viewfinder. Compensation can be done on the blue/amber or magenta/green scales according to the light source. Compensation can also be done in playback mode. 1:1 Aspect square format images in RAW mode. In addition to 4:3 and 3:2 aspect ratios, 1:1 square format photography is also possible. Combined with the electronic viewfinder with its tilt mechanism, the GX200 gives the feel of shooting with a medium format camera. Enjoy framing 6x6 film style compositions.
