Die Ricoh ist mehr als auffällig denn neben ihrem eigenwilligen Design, hat das Modell um das Objektiv auch LEDs angebracht, die das Motiv besser ausleuchten sollen. Zwar ist die Kamera dadurch schwerer aber dafür kann der Nutzer auch Filter auf das Objektiv stecken was sicherlich eine Besonderheit bei den kleinen Kameras darstellt.

Outdoor-Kamera (stoßfest, staubgeschützt und wasserdicht). Stärken: guter Monitor, schneller Autofokus, viele Extras und Funktionen. Schwäche: bei wenig Licht nur mäßig. Kamera insgesamt annehmbar.

  • Positivegute Dynamik
  • Positivehervorragende Schärfe bei Nahaufnahmen und im Macro-Modus
  • Positivesauber strukturierte Menüs
  • Negativemartialisches Design ist Geschmackssache

Insgesamt macht die Outdooor Kamera einen wahrlich guten Einduck und kann auch bei der Bildqualität mehr als überzeugen. Dabei gelingen auch die Nahaufnahmen mit hoher Schärfe und die Bedienung ist dank guter Menüführung ebenfalls angenehm. Allerdings ist das Design Geschmackssache, wobei es sehr martialisch daherkommt.
