Remington R320 R3 Titanium Series

Advantages: A close shave and good quality shaver with Titanium blades
Disadvantages: No charge indicator

...Remington R320 R3 Titanium Series Rotary Shaver - Designed by BMW Group DesignworksUSA I quote "Now this product will shave you closer than a blade or your money back" wasn't that the claim of Victor Kyam in the 80's well he must have been talking about this shaver. Now having been a wet shave fan for the past twenty five years and after having had some bad experiances with a variety of dry shavers, I thought that the wet razor Gillette Mach 3 was the best thing since sliced bread. NOW ALL THAT'S CHANGED....... Oh look a birthday present from my mother and its a new shaver and considering I have had many a row with my mother when I lived with her over the mess with shaving foam on the mirror she should have known I used a wet shave. Anyway enough of my mothers problems and back to this shaver, I decided that at least I...

Lens Problems on R series Caplios

Advantages: Features, looks, lens zoom range
Disadvantages: Reliability

...I've just sent my daughters back for repair just 9 months after buying it. The lens has jammed permanently open with the motor making nasty grinding noises & no image. Looking on the web, this seems be a very common problem with R4-R7 cameras with at least 11 others returning units for repair - often just after the waranty with big repair bills - upto 2/3 the value of the camera. Even after repairs, the problem seems to re-occur. Buyers beware! I think Ricoh have pushed the lens/body ratio a bit too far to the point of serously affecting reliability. My daughter was really upset as it failed 1/3 way into her holiday & it was her pride & joy - she really looked after it! Won't buy a Ricoh camera again - when you spend £170 on a camera you expect it to last longer than 9 months!...

Ricoh Caplio R5

Advantages: Great value for money, High resolution, Wide zoom, Large Screen
Disadvantages: No rangefinder, black and white manual

....1x optical zoom is a lot more than 3x or 4x which is standard in most other digital camers these days. This is because it allows you to take pictures of images very far away which you would have to move much closer to with a camera with only 3x or 4x times digital zoom. Another point is that this camera is very easy to use, and desptie the large range of functions and features this camera has, It is very easy to use them and I have only had to consult the guide manual on very few occasions. The camera also has a very nice look to it and is also very slim, the same thickness as most other digital cameras. The 2.5" tft screen is also very useful and is large enough for you to be able to take very precise and accurate shots as well as being able to use the colour balancing features to the greatest effect. As well as this, the lithiom ion...

Ricoh Caplio RR30

Advantages: superb macro and virtually no shutter lag
Disadvantages: None

...Main features 3.21 megapixel CCD which means you can print good quality up to A4 3x optical zoom (35-105mm in 35mm camera format) which gives you a little true zoom, beware of digital zoom as this is no different to blowing up the picture on your computer. Good selection of shutter speeds from 8sec to 1/1500sec so almost all situations can be covered eaisily 1.5" TFT (approx. 113,000 pixels) which is a good size and can be seen clearly in all but the brightest situations Exposure modes: Centre weighted, spot and multi give you a good choice and for more specalist photography Internal 8MB memory is not much use. I have 2 256 Mb SD cards (approx £75) It only takes two AA batteries which last a fair time but if you opt for the Litium Ion rechargeable it lasts for ever (£35) But saving the best till last It's really easy to use...

RICOH Caplio G3 recommended

Advantages: Light, compact, and loads of features
Disadvantages: Heavy on batteries (use rechargeables!)

...This is my first digital camera, and recommended for anyone who wants a light, compact digital zoom camera for around £250 with loads of features. It comes with an easy to understand instruction book, a handstrap (no case), USB cable and CD-Rom for downloading photos to your PC, and an AV cable (haven't used this, but apparently you can view photos on your TV). It has a wide/telephoto lens, with 3 x optical and 3.4 x digital zoom. One of the most useful features is the Scene setting, with Portrait, Sports (for action shots), Landscape (for lots of green/blue in your photos),Nightscape, Text, High Sensitivity (easier to see LCD screen in the dark). You can review your photos on the LCD screen,and delete one or all shots. There's also a continuous mode of 16 shots, for when you don't quite know when to expect that perfect photo...

Review of Ricoh Caplio R4

Not impressed by Caplio RR120

Advantages: Cheap, easy to use and light in weight
Disadvantages: Cheap plastic internal parts cause failures

...and push the pinion back into place is quite easy and takes about 3 minutes. The problem then is that te pinion has been weakened and will not remain in place for very long so it starts clicking again when you turn it off. The only short term fix for this is to zoom right in on a subject until it slips into macro zoom. Then you can turn it off without the clicking. This may buy you around 10 or 15 on/off cycles before it fails again. Never have I paid so much money for such garbage. I will not buy Ricoh again....

Review of Ricoh Caplio RR120

Didn't Ricoh used to manage Arsenal?

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

...The first thing many readers will think when looking at this review is "oh my god" how ugly is that camera?", and possibly as a secondary thought, "who the hell are Ricoh, didn't he once manage Arsenal?". The answers to these questions are so obviously yes, it is a ugly mother of a camera and no, that was Bruce Rioch, but I stray from the subject matter so on with my thoughts on the camera. Cost & Availability: I will admit 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...

Review of Ricoh Caplio R6

Super easy use camera for holidays

Advantages: Macro, Slim Design, Superfast startup.
Disadvantages: Poor Night Photos

...Ricoh Caplio R1 Lenght 10cm Depth 5.5cm and less than 2.5cm Thick which is quiet amazing because on start up the lense comes out just under 2cm and 3.5cm at full zoom. The R1 is silver as the picture shows but also comes in black. The lens is a wide angle 28mm lens with a zoom upto 135mm and a macro mode that allows you to focus as close as 1cm now that is dam good. Another amazing thing about this camera is the shutter respons time, which i would say is under 1 second, fantastic for capturing those suprise moments instantly.Start up time is considerably slowed when the flash is needed which was left out by the chap who was selling me the camera. You can capture movies and sound at 320x240 pixels can't comment on this as i have never used it. Transfering photos and movies is easy just connect usb lead to your computer...

Review of Ricoh Caplio R1

SLR-type features in a true compact camera format

Advantages: Great pictures, brilliant macro, 7x optical zoom, optical image stabilisation
Disadvantages: Flash can be covered with a finger by accident

...The Ricoh Caplio R5 offers a rather different take on the quality digital camera from most manufacturers. With the product a year old, it's a bargain at £120-150, giving both simplicity and optional SLR-like features and playing to Ricoh's extraordinary strength in macro photography with a 7.1x optical zoom and highly effective optical shake reduction technology. I spent a few weeks researching the market and trying cameras in-store, but here was my frustration: I wanted far more than the usual 3-3.5x optical zoom, but not in a package that I'd have to think twice about carrying. My trusty film SLR is great for planned photo trips, but I wanted my next digital to give me high quality pictures everywhere and anytime. Playing with this camera alongside the other high quality brands, I immediately noticed that the quality of instant...
