Ricoh CX2 with Ricoh CX5 Overview


Let's compare CX5 with CX2. Both cameras produced Ricoh. These models are included in the Small Sensor Superzoom cameras. Ricoh CX5 was released in 2011, and Ricoh CX2 in 2009. CX5 is newer, which is a plus. CX2 2 years older. However 2 years, the difference is not so bad.
The sensor resolution of CX5 is greater than that of CX2. However, the difference of 1 MP is not very significant. The more megapixels the camera has, the more detailed and clear the picture will be. The number of megapixels will also affect the maximum size of the photos, which then can be printed without loss of quality.
At the first camera (CX5), the minimum ISO value is lower, which gives more opportunities for shooting in daylight. A larger maximum ISO allows you to take good pictures in the dark. At Ricoh CX5, the maximum ISO is greater by 1600. Both cameras have Sensor-shift image stabilization. Both cameras feature a 3-inch fixed screen.
Burst mode, also called continuous shooting mode, sports mode or continuous high speed mode, is a shooting mode in still cameras. Ricoh CX5 has n/a fps continuous shooting.
