Ricoh R8 Camera
Tuesday my Ricoh R8 Camera arrived from Adorama in New York. I am very pleased with it. It is mainly a point and shoot but has easy access to change exposure compensation, white balance, and ISO. It is about the size of a cellphone and so much fun to use. It is the perfect road warrior street photography camera.
I like the way it captures light and shadows and the overall clarity of the image. It does not do well in low light. In bright to average light about -0.3 through -2 exposure compensation is needed to avoid blown-out highlights. I got good results in the early morning and especially at dusk. But if you like to take artistic, interesting shots it does not disappoint!
