Ricoh CX5 Announced

January 26, 2011 By Eric Reagan

The Ricoh CX5 is a new point and shoot camera with a 10.7x optical zoom lens (28-300mm equivalent) and a 10MP back-illuminated CMOS sensor. The CX5 sports a new hybrid AF system that Ricoh says reduces AF focusing times down to 0.2 seconds. The hybrid AF system is made up of “a passive AF sensor that continuously measures the distance between the camera and subject using an area sensor together with Contrast AF (a system in which the imaging elements search for the peak location for contrast on the subject and focus on that location).”

The CX5 also offers a continuous shooting speed of 5fps at full resolution, a sensitivity range of ISO 100-3200, 720p HD video capture and a 3-inch LCD at 920k dot resolution. No word yet on pricing or release date. Check availability on Amazon.com.
