Hi I'm new and I have a question...

As Nikon is to Canon, what is Ricoh to?
By this I mean that they are comparable brands, so which is the comparable (similar product line up) or direct competitor to Ricoh?

Oh I am just about to get my first Ricoh! It is an R8, currently winging its way to me in the post!

I bought it because of the time lapse function. Should be fun in the car and on the streets. I shall post some videos once I'm ready.
 
Hi there and welcome on board! It's hard to match R range to any existing brand or product line. Basically, it's point and shot camera but with some advanced features usually available in much more advanced models. DPReview folks even compared it with such high-end compacts like G10 or LX3 ;)

I think R range would be fantastic and very unusual (its own) kind of camera if there would be RAW and at least basic manual controls.
 
Thanks, that is useful to know. I read a few reviews thought of going for Nikon P&S, but didn't want a 30 sec minimum time interval (time lapse).

I was mainly looking for where people see Ricoh as a brand of cameras in comparison to others say Panasonic or Leica. Who is the overall direct competitor, just interested.
