Superb design and build quality; excellent controls and layout for experienced photographers; compact size combined with dSLR-esque versatility
Every time you buy a new lens unit, you're buying a new sensor; different lens units include differently sized sensors; generally expensive
The Ricoh GXR camera system shouldn't work, but it does. Because every lens unit also includes a sensor, the system is pricey, and the variation in sensor sizes means you won't necessarily get dSLR photo quality all the time. Yet, as a tool for taking...
Ricoh GXR kan säkert hitta en egen skara hängivna fans som tilltalas av det unika konceptet med byggkvalitet i proffsklass, men i ett litet format. GXR är proffsvalet bland spegellösa systemkameror (tillsammans med Leica M9).Tyvärr är vi lite besvikna ...
The image quality is good in ideal conditions, comparable with the best compacts from Canon and Panasonic. Images go soft in low contrast light. The lens, with its commendably modest zoom range, focuses quickly and accurately.
The price! The combination as tested costs $1350 – and that is for a compact camera. The Canon G11 and Panasonic LX3 cost hundreds of dollars less. The A12 module, with 50mm lens and APS sensor, costs $1000 – making the combination more expensive than ...

Abstract: Ricoh GXR føyer seg inn i rekken av speilløse kameraer med utskiftbar optikk, og skal slåss om de samme kundene som microFourThirds-kameraene i Panasonics G-serie og Olympus PEN-modellene, og naturligvis Samsungs NX-system. Men der de andre har bildebrikk...

The market for GXR camera is for people who don’t want the bulk of an SLR, but who want the additional option from “Auto” of having the power of additional control of raw photos. As you learn more with familiarity, you can program the G...
Compact; stunningly sharp results, particularly with 50mm portrait lens and 12-megapixel sensor combo; component parts feel solid, well made, and attach and detach easily.
Auto white balance performance variable; busy menu screens and small typeface make function searches fiddly.
While the GXR sounds like good news for photographers looking for a high-quality shoot-from-the-hip camera for street and travel photography, getting set up doesn’t come cheap. The basic body is a suggested $549, to which must be added $830 for the...
