Ricoh Caplio R5 Silver Black We’ve just published our review of the new 7 megapixel Ricoh Caplio R5 – an update to the unique Ricoh Caplio R4, the new R5 features a wide-angle 7.1x optical zoom lens, ISO upto 1600, a 2.5″ screen, newly designed controls and curvier body, and image stabilisation in an (ultra) compact metal body. The camera will be available in Silver, Red, or Black for £249 including VAT:

“The Ricoh Caplio R5 is a new 7 megapixel update to the Ricoh Caplio R4 – it has a 7.1x optical zoom lens – this is impressive considering the camera is roughly the same size as cameras with only a 3x optical zoom lens. The camera’s wide-angle 7.1x optical zoom lens starts at 28mm and zooms to 200mm equivalent, and has a built in lens-cover. The camera also features a “Vibration Correction” CCD sensor, much like Konica Minolta’s Anti-shake technology – image stabilisation is becoming more and more common as an effective way to reduce camera shake and blur in low-light or with long zoom lenses.”
