Ricoh R8 Review at PhotoReview

PhotoReview have reviewed the new Ricoh Caplio R8 - a 10 megapixel update to the R7 - it features a newly designed body available in black or silver, a wide angle 7.1x optical zoom lens (28 - 200mm equivalent), image stabilisation, ISO 1600, 2.7" screen with 460k pixels, and a 1cm macro mode. The camera is available in Two-tone Silver and Black or Black for £248:

"Pictures taken with the test camera were bright and colourful with the elevated saturation we've come to expect from small-sensor digicams. Imatest showed resolution to be as high as you would expect from a 10-megapixel camera - and higher than most small-sensor digicams we've reviewed. However, the camera's dynamic range was similar to other small-sensor digicams, with blown highlights and a tendency to block up shadows in bright outdoor shots."
