| Pros: | Easy to use. It is cheap but it has everything you need. Soft and silent shutter release. | | Cons: | Difficulty to reading information in low light in the viewfinder | |
Ricoh KR10X is not very popular item on the market, as for example the Pentax ME SUPER. But is the right choice if you want a really good Slr to daily use.
Solid but light, it has a great viewfinder and an incredibly quiet shutter.
Simple and immediate commands make its use very pleasant.
Aperture-priority automatism, manual, exposure compensation and exposure lock, allow you to do practically everything with direct controls and at your fingertips.

My first newly purchased body, but then it was the Sigma SA-1 rebadged version.
Great camera! Never bothered buying a AF camera after it. It was around the mid eughties as I bought the Sigma. Paid about Fl 150,- which is in today money approximately €70,- .
Used it with a Cosinon 28-50mm zoom and a Sigma 70-210mm in the beginning. After that I added a 28mm Sigma, and a 35-70mm Sigma zoom.
Still have it - legendary camera to me!

| Pros: | Simple, straightforward settings, | | Cons: | LCD match needle, sometimes fails to display on first shot. | |
This was one of the first used cameras I ever purchased. It is a very simple to use AE + Manual camera, with a great LCD "match needle" display, when it works. I have noticed on my XR-10, XR-7 and Sears KSX Super that on the first shot one or both of the "needles" do not show up in the viewfinder in AE mode. It still takes a proper exposure you just dont know what it is. After the first shot it is fine until you lock the shutter dial or it times out.
This camera is basicly a XR-7 without the double exposure button. And other than that small qurik it is a pleasure to take out and shoot with.
If you can live with that "bug" I would recommend this camera.
