Ricoh Caplio R1 Review
|
Review Summary
Reader Score: 8.50 (out of 10)
Ricoh have launched a number of stylish and innovative digital cameras during 2004, with the Caplio R1 being the latest model. The Ricoh Caplio R1 retains the wide-angle 28mm lens of the slightly older Caplio RX, but now extends the zoom range to a very useful 135mm, whilst still maintaining a slim camera body of 25mm. As usual with Ricoh cameras, the R1 has the world's fastest shutter response and start-up times (at least according to Ricoh when it was first announced in August 2004), being ready to shoot in less than 0.8 seconds, and taking less than 0.1 seconds to fire the shutter release. The Caplio R1 also has a has a pretty amazing Macro setting that allows you to focus on a subject that is just 1cm away from the camera. So does all of this add up to make a great digital camera? Carry on reading to find out!

| The nicely shaped and stylishly finished Caplio R1 is equipped with a 4.0 Megapixel image sensor en features a powerful 4.8 optical zoom range. The R1 has a number of surprising features, in particular the beautiful housing with its limited amount of buttons and beside that its outstanding optical range of 28-135mm focal range equivalent to a 35mm. |

| If you think you've seen this camera somewhere before, it's because the spec is virtually identical to Ricoh's Caplio RZ1. This model features a 4.8x, 28-135mm (35mm film camera equivalent) wide-zoom lens. Its brother, the Caplio RZ1, features a slightly slimmed down specification and a more ‘traditional’ 35-105mm 3x optical zoom lens. Apart from the lens focal ranges involved, the cameras are very similar, featuring 4MP effective resolution that is ample for prints all the way up to A3.
