Hong Kong day 5

Today we met up with Ricoh again :) This time at their offices in Kowloon bay. This was another opportunity to discuss cameras but also to hold the newly released Ricoh CX1. The model I held was not finished so I could not take pictures with it onto my SD card unfortunately. The build is very similar to the R10 but has a few changes. Although they removed the rubber hand grip it doesn't matter too much on this camera as they added a soft rubber piece on the LCD side that holds the thumb nicely. I was able to quickly test the HDR mode that seemed to give some nice pictures judging from the LCD screen. I did notice some MY modes on the dial but it was not possible to change the mode of a MY setting to HDR.
The LCD screen is very nice and the viewing angle is very good. It is also very fast even in low light with less ghosting and lag than i have seen on the R8. I hope to be able to check out this camera again once it reaches the stores.

In the morning, after checking wikipedia we discovered we were allowed inside the IFC2 tower, at least to the 55th floor. We went to take some pics there before heading to Kowloon Bay.
