Product Overview
- 12.4 MP CCD Sensor
- 24-72mm optical zoom lens
- VF-1 electronic viewfinder (optional attachment included)
Ricoh’s GX200 retains most of the best features of its predecessor GX100, including its svelte body styling and 24-72mm 3x optical zoom lens. It also supports raw file capture, sensibly using Adobe’s DNG format instead or a proprietary format. Purchasers can also count on getting the same full creative control over exposure settings and top panel hot-shoe, which accepts an electronic viewfinder or an add-on flash.
The GX200’s aluminium alloy body is almost identical to its predecessor’s and equally well built. Interestingly, overall body weight is 12 grams less in the new model. The removable electronic viewfinder (EVF), a first on the GX100, is also provided with the GX200. And, like its predecessor, the GX200 can be powered by either the DB-60 rechargeable lithium-ion battery (supplied with the camera) or two AAA batteries.
The 24-72mm 3x optical zoom lens has also been carried over into the GX200, but with improved backlight performance. Constructed from 11 elements in 7 groups, it includes aspherical elements plus high-refractive-index and low-dispersion elements to provide better correction for distortion, chromatic aberration and edge darkening.
