Ricoh Caplio R7

...was pushed to buy the ricoh R7 as i do get inspiration from reviews myself and the ricoh had exellent reviews on various sites. The ricoh has lived up to its expectations which i am overwhelmed as i wasted alot of pictures of my baby boy when he was newly born as the compact sumsung was useless at capturing moving subjects, like babies. After purchasing the Ricoh it was more or less a case of figuring out a few settings a then snapping away and producing ...
...wants hassle free photos or maybe even for the slightly more professional, as this camera does also have quite alot of features. the only downfall i can spot is a background noise on the video recordings, which i dont mind as it kind of sounds like one of those old projector screen wheels ground around. ...

Review of Ricoh Caplio R7

Picked this up nearly 3 months ago now as my third compact digital after having a kodak for my first then a canon IXUS 500 after that. I also shoot with a Canon EOS 300d so was looking for great image quality, and a general upgrade from my IXUS. I went for the R7 because it starts up and shoots so fast its perfect as a little point and shoot. The zoom level is brilliant and I don't even use digital zoom. As far as settings go its got all that ...
...then for the more advanced users the array of custom options are far beyond any compact digital I have used in the past. Its even got manual focus! I've not really found any faults with the camera so far, it does everything I need and more, looks really cool and is really easy to use. ...

Review of Ricoh Caplio R7

The Ricoh Caplio R7 was released in August 2007. This camera has an amazing 7x optical zoom ( basically how much it can zoom when capturing an image) which is an exceptional amount considering it's size and price. It also has 8 megapixels along with a 2.7 inch screen with 230k pixel resolution.It weighs161 grams (including battery) and is very compact, you would really notice it in your bag or your pocket. One of my favourite features is the 'Vibration ...
...but this doesn't actually very successful. This is a point and shoot camera so it doesn't have as many exposure contrals as there could be in othe camera. Another anti shake system is the 'camera shake correction' ( compensates for camera shake) which can also double up as an anti-blur feature. The 1cm Macro setting allows it to focus on very small object or detailed closeups, this is a very attractive feature. The Settings are very user-friendly ...

Review of Ricoh Caplio R7

overall I have to say that I'm pretty disappointed. I'm no camera buff, so I wanted something that'd cope with most eventualities like my old Kodak. This new camera really doesn't cope very well with either extreme of lighting - I thought that this point and click jobbie would do that for me without any problems. on the plus side, it is very small and light - you really don't know it's there which is really useful. The screen is fab too. my main ...
