Camera Overview — Ricoh Caplio GX200

The Ricoh Caplio GX200 is a compact point-and-shoot camera built around a 12MP, 1/1.7-inch sensor — a relatively large sensor size for its class that allows for greater light capture and detail. Images can be captured in JPEG or RAW (DNG) format, giving photographers meaningful post-processing flexibility straight from a compact body. The camera's ISO range runs from 64 to 1600, offering a low base sensitivity that's well-suited to bright conditions and controlled shooting environments.

On the display side, the GX200 features a 2.7-inch TFT LCD with a 460,000-dot resolution — a sharp and sizable screen for composing shots and reviewing images in the field. Autofocus is handled by a contrast detection system. For video, the camera supports up to 640x480 resolution.

Storage is handled via SD and SDHC cards, and the camera connects to a computer via USB. The body measures 111.6 × 58 × 25 mm and weighs 208g, keeping it genuinely pocketable. Power comes from a rechargeable Li-Ion battery.

With RAW (DNG) support and a large-for-its-class sensor, the GX200 targets enthusiast photographers who want compact portability without sacrificing output quality.
