Ricoh Caplio R6 > Reviews

Advantages: stunning pictue quality, large memory capacity, easy to use, anti-vibration feature
Disadvantages: price, look and availability

...here, I don't own the Ricoh Caplio R6, but I have used it regularly now for over 4 months both larking around and while giving serious demonstrations to the potential buyers. More often than not the price is a big turn off with most customers. We are an independent electrical retailer and we have this item tagged at £279.99 in our shop but this does include a 2GB memory card. The cheapest I have seen this camera is online for £199.99, but it only ... Read review

Advantages: Cheap, excellent images, screen is non reflective in the sun.
Disadvantages: Looks, the name

I have owned this camera for some time now and i love it! As another reviewer has pointed out that looks are not to everyones taste but several people have said to me how nice it looks, and different, and I am of the same opinion, Personally i think it is a very good looking camera, something that not many people will have. I have yet to come across another person with the same camera as myself, and for someone who always wants something different ... Read review

Advantages: Features, looks, lens zoom range

Won't buy a Ricoh camera again - when you spend £170 on a camera you expect it to last longer than 9 months! ... Read review

I liked this camera and bought it at a keen price better than quoted here. Sadly I have just returned the second one because of a fault. The first one went back because of pixel problems on the lcd screen and whilst the second one also appeared to have the same problem the main reason was a blotch probably on the sensor. I hope my next one which wont be a Ricoh wont have any problems.

Advantages: Good Picture Quality
Disadvantages: Not the best looking camera

I find that with camera's you are best off sticking to Sony, Kodak and other high profile makes. They are easy to use, they come with more accessories and attachments and often have longer guarentee's. This is a very good camera, however it isn't the best looking one out there, perfect if it's a present for a bloke, but you'd be better off getting something easier on the eye for a lady, because although it's not all about looks, they do count!
