Awesome Camera Pocket size super zoom!5
I bought this camera after lots of research. The only thing that made me doubt was the other reviews in Amazon but I gave it a shot as all other reviews (profesional) said that it was a great camera. Just google Caplio R7 reviews!. I am very picky about cameras and have had a few. My latest camera was a Canon sd400 which I loved as it took great pictures and you could fit it in any pocket. The trouble with these small compact cameras is that they have very little zoom...well, till I found the Ricoh. It is compact, takes really great pictures and has a 7x zoom. Many here have complained that it is too noisy and to tell you the truth it is a bit noisy but not as much as I imagined it to be. The real escense of a camera is to take good pictures (colorwise). The rest is a bonus. What is the use of a camera that has 2000 gadgets but pictures come out bad. If it were an ipod I would be concerned about the noise but it is a camera and it does what a camera should do, take great pictures. Not like the sony t10 that I had that couldn't get the colors right and I could not even fix it with photoshop (it always oversaturated the blues - sony trademark). Apart from the quality of the photos (I have tried it in almost all situations) the camera has almost no shutter lag (it even has an option for snap shots that reduces shutter lag to 0). It has face detection which I havn't used that much because you have to enable it, the flash is very strong for such a compact camera which is good for night shots, it has the manual shutter speed which I love to take more artistic photographs, controls are very easy to access and you can save your favorite settings which you can access in a rush. Battery lasts forever. I'll try and upload a few pics so that you can see what this little camera can do. So far the best compact camera I have owned. If you are still not satisfied go for a Canon, they are always the safe choice.
