Ricoh Caplio R3 Review
Digicam Review reviews the Ricoh Caplio R3.
“the Ricoh Caplio R3 is a new 5 megapixel digital camera with a 7.1x optical zoom lens - this is impressive considering that the camera is roughly the same size as other cameras with only a 3x optical zoom lens. The cameras wide-angle 7.1x optical zoom lens starts at 28mm - 200mm equivalent, 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. The Ricoh Caplio R3 is available from £230, this makes it good value for money as an compact digital camera with a big zoom. The camera is enclosed in a black, or silver metal body. The R3 records 320×240 movies with sound at 30fps. The camera is very compact and fits easily into pockets. The camera takes a rechargable lithium-ion battery and measures: 95 x 53 x 26 mm (without protruding parts), and weighs 135g (without batteries and memory card).”
