Summary

Ricoh Caplio R8
Upgrade to the R7 increases the resolution to
10 megapixels and adds a lovely high resolution screen but retains the
compact styling and versatile 28-200 equiv. 7x zoom. With a wealth of
useful and often novel features (not least the big lens in a small
body) the R8 is an attractive proposition, but it's let down slightly
by its over-processed high ISO images, poor low light performance and
lack of responsiveness. Not a bad camera, but not a great one either.
