The new Ricoh Caplio GX100 doesn’t only include a 10 megapixel CCD and 24-72 mm lenses in a surprisingly tight 1 inch-thick package, but it also does it in style, losing the G8’s common shiny black compact look in favor of the – beloved by same, hated by others – Ricoh GR’s retro style. In fact, I think the GX100 bests the GR, and let’s face it, sometimes that’s all that matters.

For those of you who actually care about those pesky technical details, like the 2.5″ TFT or the 3x optical zoom or its F2.5-4.4 aperture or the RAW DNG support, they are all available, along with photos of the back and front, right after the jump.
The GX100 includes rechargeable battery, battery charger, lens cap, USB Cable, AV Cable, handstrap and software, but probably one of the coolest things is what you don’t get in the package: the VF-1 LCD electronic viewfinder included in the GX100 VG Kit, which you can tilt and remove.
