Recently updated my venerable CX3 to a CX6.
First impressions very favourable, except for some cosmetic and build issues.
LCD just great, camera focuses almost instantly and macro works much better than my Fuji X10. Creative modes fun to use and fairly customisable. All in all, a fast and responsive small package with good image quality considering the size of the sensor. its never going to be a DSLR - but it fits in my pocket, has good zoom range and gives me a very large array of shooting options.
But - why did Ricoh have to burden it with a very shiny and plasticy front grip and an adj button that looks like its made out of Lego...?! CX3 seemed much classy ( even if it wasnt).
Have seen very few reviews of this camera - are Ricoh ashamed of its looks...!
I suppose these things are very personal - does anyone out there like its appearance???
