Cameras with 1/2.3" Sensor

1/2.3" Sensor: Ricoh CX4 | 1/2.3" Sensor: Ricoh CX4 with Strong Sharpening | 1/2.3" Sensor: Ricoh GXR P10

1/2.3" Sensor: Ricoh CX4

The Ricoh CX4 is an example of a compact camera with a 1/2.3 "sensor (crop factor 5.6) and offers 10 megapixels. Since it is a few years old, it can not come close to current cameras having the same sensor size. The virtually identical Ricoh GXR P10 camera unit (see below) offers a better performance.

With this camera, I would go beyond ISO 400 only in "cases of emergency."

1/2.3" Sensor: Ricoh CX4 with Strong Sharpening

Here, the camera is presented once again with a different setting, namely the camera is set to maximum sharpening. With this setting, it is similar in performance to the virtually identical Ricoh GXR P10 camera unit.

With this camera, I would, despite the stong sharpening (or because of...) go beyond ISO 400 only in "cases of emergency."

1/2.3" Sensor: Ricoh GXR P10

The Ricoh GXR P10 camera unit, which is virtually identical to the Ricoh CX4, provides better performance than the CX4 and should therefore demonstrate here that more is possible with a 1/2.3 sensor.

With this camera, too, I would, go beyond ISO 400 only in "cases of emergency." I used ISO 800 during a wedding ceremony, and it was not convincing at all...
