HDR (high dynamic range) photography has been a tool of DSLR photographers for years now, but Ricoh is bringing it to the masses with the CX1 ($430).
The CX1’s “dynamic range double shot” mode takes two images nearly simultaneously with different exposures, then combines them automatically to present the best bits of both.
The CX1 has a large 3.0-inch 920,000-dot VGA monitor and high-speed continuous shooting functions at approximately 4 frames/second that make it even easier to enjoy HDR photography.
