Ricoh Caplio R30 Review

BIOSMagazine have published the first on-line review of the new 5 megapixel Ricoh Caplio R30, it's a budget version of the Ricoh Caplio R3, and features a 5.7x optical zoom lens and no image stabilisation, compared to the 7x optical zoom lens with image stabilisation on the R3.

"Inheriting the Caplio R3’s unique Double Retracting Lens System allows part of the lens assembly to protrude from the camera cone during lens storage. This enables the body, a mere 26mm thick, to hold a 28- to 160mm 5.7x wide zoom lens (f4.6 to 26.4). The benefit of a wide zoom lens is that it offers greater shooting versatility, whether it’s capturing a vast landscape in one shot, wide-angle images in a room where everything is very close, or the fine details of distant objects."
