"I took great pleasure using the Ricoh R8 with it's ease of use and decent features. It also looks good on the arm with the vintage styling. It's just a shame that the performance isn't up to scratch. I reported that the images have a look like they're over sharpened giving a painted look. I think this may now be down to the noise that the sensor generates."

Ricoh R8 Review at DPExpert

DPExpert have reviewed the new Ricoh Caplio R8. The R8 is 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.

"We subjected the Ricoh R8 to the tourist test – taking it around town snapping the sorts of things that any traveller might photograph in a foreign city. The results are consistently good, helped in no small part by the outstanding, distortion-free lens. There are plenty of noise reduction artefacts visible at full image size, so this is not a camera for making A3 prints or for severe cropping of the picture."
