Ricoh Caplio R5 Review

Think Camera have reviewed the new 7 megapixel Ricoh Caplio R5 - an update to the unique Ricoh Caplio R4 reviewed here, 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:

"This isn't the smallest camera or the best looking or the easiest to use but the pictures are some of the best we've seen from a compact. Don't let the short feature list put you off, this has everything you need. In the marks below, picture quality has a point docked for the odd shots that came out very badly, the general quality was excellent."
