Ricoh Caplio R3 Review

TrustedReviews review the new Ricoh Caplio R3, a compact 5 megapixel digital camera with an impressive 7x optical zoom lens with image stabilisation and a large 2.5" screen:

"Digital cameras have got so sophisticated in the past couple of years that it is getting increasingly difficult for a new model to make any sort of impact, especially if it comes from a company outside of the “big five”. Take this Ricoh Caplio R3 for example. It’s a pocket-sized compact with a 2.5in LCD monitor, 7.1x optical zoom, image stabilization and a 5 megapixel CCD. In most respects it has an extremely impressive specification for just £219, but it seems that most people have completely ignored it. I’ve not seen any other reviews of it, and only a brief press release to announce its launch."
