The CX series, when first announced, was something that interested me: It packed a lot in a very smart-looking camera. Sad to say, the images were not as good as those from the other manufacturers; Ricoh's lack of experience in image processing for digital cameras showed. Now at up to version 4, the CX4 looks just as smart, and there are some improvements to the imaging side of things. I'm still not terribly convinced by that ISO test though...</p>
