Ricoh

The coronavirus pandemic has seen the cancellation of many of this year's tech shows, including the CP+ 2020 camera show where Ricoh was intending to show off its new APS-C format flagship DSLR. The company went online instead to share a few details.

Ricoh has provided funding for one of its design teams to create a wand-like 360-degree immersive video stick, and has even launched a new company to sell it. The Vecnos camera will be available later this year.

The Theta family of handheld 360-degree cameras is expanding with the introduction of an update to 2016's Theta SC. The SC2 ups the megapixel count, is capable of 4K video recording and comes with 14 GB of internal storage.

​Since being launched in 2013, Ricoh's Theta 360 degree camera has grown in number and capabilities. Now the company has added the latest iteration to the range – the Theta Z1, which becomes the new series flagship.​

​Ricoh announced the development of its latest GR point-and-shoot camera back in September last year, promising an early 2019 release. True to its word, the Ricoh GR III has launched today.​

​Ricoh's point-and-shoot GR series started life as 35 mm film cameras in 1996, went digital in 2005, got a sensor bump in 2013 and Wi-Fi in 2015. Now the company has announced it's developing the next generation GR and will offer Photokina 2018 show-goers a sneak peek ahead of release in 2019.​

​Ricoh announced the mighty Pentax K-1 back in February 2016, and we couldn't wait to get our hands on the camera. When we did so just a month later, the small-but-powerful full-frame DSLR didn't disappoint. Now the rugged 36-megapixel Pentax flagship has been updated to the MkII.​

The Pentax KP is retro-styled DSLR which boasts modern features such as stratospherically high ISO settings, 5-axis image stabilization and interchangeable grips. We recently went hands-on with the camera at The Photography Show in Birmingham, UK, to see what it can do.

Ricoh has built on its short but considerable success with spherical cameras by adding some live-streaming to its lineup, with the announcement of the new Ricoh R which can shoot 360-degree video continuously for up to 24 hours.

Ricoh is looking to keep its 360-degree camera lineup fresh with the release of the Theta SC, a smaller and cheaper version of its predecessors. ​​

The Pentax K-70 is a compact DSLR which has been designed to survive in conditions rival cameras dare not go. The 24.24-megapixel APS-C camera is dustproof and weather-resistant, and freeze-proof down to temperatures as low as -10° C (14° F).

Ricoh has announced the WG-M2, the latest generation of its tough (and very orange) action camera. This time around the adventure shooter gains 4K video recording along with a wider, and more immersive lens then you typically get on an actioncam.
