Hello,
I want to buy a DC, small and very fsat, for sports: ski, rock climbing etc...
after loooooooooong searching on all websites I almost decided on the Canon Powershot A75.
but at the last minute I found the Caplio RX, and your beautiful pictures...
=> now I don't know what to do!
I have read all the techical details of the competing cameras, and in the end the deciding criteria is: am I ready to sacrifice the good video of the A75 (VGA 640x480) for the extreme speed of the Caplio RX which only has only QVGA video (320x240) ?
You are the only RX user I have found on the web for the moment: what do you think ???
is the Caplio RX REALLY soooooo FAST ? do you have any RX videos posted on your site ?
many thanks for your help and future comments! Orphée, France.

Hello, Dirk and Bruno, thank you for your comment. I would like to tell you RX is a good DC for general purpose. Of course, some post-processing was done in the picture. I increased the contrast, cropped the edge of top and bottom, and resize. There was no other colour adjustment or "cut and paste" on this picture. However, I find the white balance is not accurate some time. It does not like my former camera- canon 10D/ G2. They could always get the accurate white balance and nature colour. :)

Same thing than the other message...
Could you tell us how you did this picture? Postprocessing? Color? Camara's Program?
Thank you very much

A really beautiful picture.

I'm thinking about buying a Ricoh RX. Can you tell me, how much post-processing was done to this picture, or perhaps send me the original file straight out of the camera?
