    I gave up my digital SLR (Canon 400D) for this Ricoh GX200, it was a difficult decision, but it was done for many reasons. The first was size. I found myself out and about a lot, forever wishing I had my 400D with me, but it was too cumbersome to carry everywhere. The second was concerts, try getting into a concert with a big SLR, not a chance. So, with both those problems solved, the GX200 was always in my pocket and even in the month I have had it, the opportune photos... Read more

    While this is quite an investment it is ideal for those that are over the novelty of poor quality, but convenient camera phone, or cheaper digital devices and want to get back to - or learn about real photography. A warning though - it can be addictive! Read more

    The GX200 would make a good second camera for keen photographers who don't always want to carry around their regular kit, but its appeal otherwise might be limited. After all, everyday snappers just looking for an easy-to-use camera which takes great pics can find something just as handy for half the price. Edited by Marian Smith Read more

    Ricoh's follow up to last year's GX100 continues the company's commitment to designing quality compacts combining portability with manual control. Few people carry a DSLR everywhere, so cameras such as this, or Sigma's DP-1 are an ideal pocket alternative. Read more

    : More and more it seems like you have to buy a Digital SLR in order to get manual controls - not so with the Ricoh GX200 - it features full manual controls and more customisable buttons than most Digital SLRs! With this camera you can have all the great Digital SLR features, without the size, with the GX200 neatly fitting into coat pockets. Where the GX200 can't match a Digital SLR is in image quality - the GX200 shows excessive amounts of noise when used at ISO400 or... Read more
