Ricoh GX100 review diary

Uwe Steinmueller of Digital Outback Photo started a diary about the Ricoh GX100. They usually do not review any compact cameras, but recently changed that with the requirement that these cameras can also record RAW files. The first compact camera they tested was the Canon G9. An excellent read by the way. Don't miss the personal review by Paul Nakroshis.

Their readers mentioned that some Ricoh cameras could also record RAW files and they noticed some forums of Ricoh users who showed "quite excellent pictures." So it is great Ricoh provided them with a camera.

    Did you notice how free the GX100 high ISO crops are of blotchy color noise compared to the G9 images processed with the same settings? I'm referring to the window crops of the "Bear Coffee Shop."

    I agree. From a SLR perspective it might be noisy/blotchy/etc, but from a small sensor camera perspective it is a huge difference.
