A review of the Ricoh Caplio R5 has been posted at Think Camera. The compact R5 is a 7.2 megapixel camera with an unusual 7.1 optical zoom and a 2.5 inch display. The Caplio R5 offers vibration reduction and, despite its long zoom lens, is capable of producing macro shots with a minimum distance of only 1cm.

The review conclusion:
“This isn’t the smallest camera or the best looking or the easiest to use but the pictures are some of the best we’ve seen from a compact. Don’t let the short feature list put you off, this has everything you need. In the marks below, picture quality has a point docked for the odd shots that came out very badly, the general quality was excellent.”
