Can somebody please explain to me why these Chinese Ricoh cameras get this much press?

You’ve got a point. Ricoh camera’s are a market niche with a loyal following. They’re different. Each new model is just a slight improvement over the previous one. No fundamental changes, same sensor, lens etc. Intuitive to use, very customizable, great results. Ricoh’s are an acquired tast. That’s all.

Like most Ricohs, I can’t see any redeeming features. Why would anyone buy one?

Try one, you’ll like it. Clever design and well built. Most are a joy to use, unless many other compacts. BTW Ricoh is a Japanese company, the fact that the camera’s are made in China doesn’t change that. All major brands have their compacts made in China, Phillipines, Singapore etc. IPhones come from China. Doesn’t make quality any less. It’s the hard and software design that makes the quality of the product.

looking at this camera and its 6th generation with almost same appearence, I would expect after all these years that the camera should just have reached the point of perfection, but having red the review above with pictures, looks like it is still missing that little extra, and getting just not enough high score to convince the potential buying crowd

@Mad - Ricoh cameras are different, but they excel with macros, have a very fast full resolution burst rate which is killer for action shots.  In good light they are formidable cameras.  Quite customizable with beautiful viewscreen.  The focus bracketing and other bracketing modes are helpful.

You should try one.  Might not be your only camera, but quite useful as an all-arounder.
