Ricoh has announced the successor to its Caplio GX8 digital camera. Among the headline features are a 24-72mm (equiv.) zoom lens and a slim body measuring just 25mm deep. Possibly the camera’s most interesting new feature is a removable electronic viewfinder, a world first for Ricoh. Images updated.
