Ricoh R8 Review at DCResource

DCResource 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 Silver, Two-tone Silver and Black or Black for £234:

"The Ricoh R8 is an intriguing camera, offering a 28 - 200 mm lens, image stabilization, and an absolutely amazing 2.7" LCD display. Unfortunately, it also has mediocre photo quality, a weak flash, and no image stabilization in movie mode. Neither particularly good nor bad, the R8 scores somewhere in the middle."
