PMA: Ricoh CX1, First Camera with Built-in High Dynamic Range Mode
At this years PMA show there was announced the Ricoh CX1 camera. Lately Ricoh have done some innovative things. I am usually not
impressed by a point&shoot camera (being a DSLR user), but this one drown my attention having a few rarely seen in a camera and innovative features. Beside the four photos braketing (and my DSLR have 3 braketing) and the 9MP resolution, it has a CMOS sesnsor which can only be met at DSLR cameras, which might mean lower noise than other Point&Shoots.
But the cherry on top of the cake is the fact that it can record a photograph that contains a high range of brightness, which a normal camera cand record. This is doing by take 2 consecutive shots at different exposure and automaticaly combines them in a photograph with a High Dynamic Range to up to 12 EV closer to the dynamic range of the human eye. Now this being developed I think it’s only a matter of time until othe camera manufacturers follow the trail. And I hope we will see this feature especially in future DSLRs which greatly need this function.


salut! ai vazut si cum functioneaza dynamic range-ul de pe Cx1?
As fi vrut sa o butonez un pic sa vad ce poate face exact, dar nu am avut ocazia.
I should notify you about it.
