A review of the Ricoh Caplio R3 digital camera has been posted at DigicamReview.

Here are the results of the review:
“The Ricoh Caplio R3 is a stylish digital camera with a 7.1x wide-angle optical zoom lens packed into a very compact metal body. The 5 megapixel camera features a 2.5″ screen and built in vibration correction […].
If having a lot of zoom power in a very compact camera is a priority then this is definitely worth considering, but if image quality is a top priority then this camera is best avoided. Ricoh are to be commended for innovation in providing such a large amount of zoom with image stabilsation in such a small and speedy camera, and for that reason I’m giving this camera an above average rating.”
