Camera Overview — Ricoh CX6

The Ricoh CX6 is a compact point-and-shoot camera built around a 10MP, 1/2.3-inch sensor powered by the Smooth Imaging Engine IV processor. Designed for travelers and everyday shooters who want a capable yet pocketable camera, it packs a solid feature set into a metal body measuring 104 x 59 x 29 mm and weighing 201g. Shooting flexibility is enhanced by sensor-shift image stabilization (IBIS), which works to reduce camera shake without relying on digital cropping.

The autofocus system uses contrast detection with multi-area focus points and subject tracking, making it well-suited for moving subjects. Still images top out at a maximum resolution of 3648x2736, and burst shooting is supported at up to 5 frames per second. A wide range of color profiles is available, including Standard, Vivid, Black & White, Cross Process, Toy Camera, Miniaturize, Bleach Bypass, Soft Focus, High Contrast B&W, and Dynamic Range Double Shot — giving photographers creative control in-camera.

Video recording is available at 720p and 30fps. The 3.0-inch TFT LCD display resolves 1.23 million dots, providing a clear and detailed framing and review experience. Storage is handled via SD, SDHC, or internal storage, and a built-in pop-up flash provides supplemental lighting when needed.

The ISO range runs from 100 to 3200.
