Ricoh updates Pentax 645Z firmware for IMAGE Transmitter 2 software

30 Sep

Ricoh Imaging has released new firmware for its Pentax 645Z medium format camera to make it compatible with the latest version of the company’s IMAGE Transmitter software. Firmware version 1.10, which is available to download by users via the Ricoh website, allows Pentax’s second digital medium format camera to be controlled when tethered to a PC via USB cable, so images can be saved directly from the camera into a chosen folder as they are taken. Read more

Photokina 2014: Ricoh stand report

18 Sep

Behind Nikon’s Photokina 2014 stand is the Ricoh booth, the most colorful we’ve seen thus far. It’s not the design of the booth that’s colorful. Rather, it’s the dozens of color combinations available for the company’s DSLRs and mirrorless cameras. The waterfall in front was pretty cool, too. Take the tour.

Ricoh surfs into action camera market with WG-M1

11 Sep

Ricoh is entering the choppy waters of the action camera market, which is currently dominated by GoPro. The company isn’t truly a newcomer into the rugged market, as it has been making rugged cameras for many years. The WG-M1 is a 14MP camera that can dive up to 10m underwater, be dropped from 2m, and function at temperatures as low as -10C – all without a housing. The WG-M1 sports a 14MP CMOS sensor, super-wide lens with a 160° field-of-view, 1.5″ LCD, 1080/30p video, and Wi-Fi. Naturally, mounts for nearly every purpose will be available.

Very flashy: Ricoh unveils Pentax K-S1 DSLR

28 Aug

Ricoh and its Pentax brand have never been afraid of a little color, and the introduction of the K-S1 DSLR reaffirms that. The K-S1 offers a 20.1MP APS-C sensor, an AA filter simulator (as seen on the Pentax K-3) and burst shooting at 5.4 fps, but none of that is quite as attention-grabbing as its headline body specification – a set of green LEDs on the front of the camera’s grip and around the power switch. Read more
