Ricoh Caplio R4 Review

ePhotoZine have reviewed the new Ricoh Caplio R4, an update to the Ricoh Caplio R3, it features a wide-angle 7.1x optical zoom lens, a higher resolution 2.5" screen (154,000 pixels), a 6 megapixel sensor, CCD-shift Anti-Shake / Image stabilisation, and upto 330 shots. It will be available in Black or Silver:

"There are smaller compacts than the Ricoh Caplio R4 available, but none which pack such a useful lens and impressive set of features into them. The camera is about the same size as a packet of cigarettes and fits my hand perfectly, with controls well enough laid out to operate with one hand. On the downside, my fingers did keep covering up the flash at first, although I could live with this. As soon as I realised the problem I adjusted my grip. The flash is positioned as far from the lens as possible to help prevent red-eye."
