A review of the Ricoh Caplio R4 is available at DigiCamReview. The Ricoh R4 is very compact 6 megapixel digital camera that offers an amazing 7.1 times optical zoom (focal length of 28-200mm, 35mm equivalent), a large 2.5 inch LCD display, optical vibration reduction and a 1cm macro mode.

The review conclusion:
“When using the camera you do need to be careful that ISO isn’t set to AUTO, otherwise you’ll end up with high noise in photos, but if you can manage to stick to ISO64 or IS100 then you should end up with some great photos - despite the camera having more megapixels - noise doesn’t seem higher than the R3. If having a lot of zoom power in a very compact camera is a priority then this is definitely worth considering. 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. The Ricoh Caplio R4 is well worth considering as there are very few alternate digital cameras that offer so much, at such a competitive price.”
