Ricoh Caplio R4 - Review @ DigicamReview
DigicamReview have published a review of the Ricoh Caplio R4, a 6.0 megapixels (CCD sensor) point-and-shoot digital camera with 7.1x Optical Zoom lens (28-200mm equivalent) with Vibration Correction function, and a 2.5″LCD screen.
“Image quality is good, I was impressed by the accurate and rich colours - the images have good colour with rich saturation, contrast and detail - although with higher than average noise (on indoor photos or when ISO is left on AUTO), and slightly higher than average purple fringing. Images are slightly soft and could benefit from sharpening - there are options in the camera to alter sharpness. The camera did a good job focusing even in low light. Macro performance was very impressive. I did noticed some vignetting in one photo, however this was not the norm and I didn’t notice barrel or pincushion distortion. “

Ricoh GR Digital - Review @ TrustedReviews
Riyad Emeran has posted a review of the Ricoh GR at TrustedReviews. Ricoh GR Digital is a point-and-shoot digital camera with 8.1 Megapixel CCD, a fixed F2.4 focal length for the newly-developed GR 28mm wideangle lens and 2.5″ LCD screen.
“Shooting with just the standard lens the image quality is simply phenomenal, easily among the very best I’ve seen from any non-SLR camera. The GR lens lives up to its boasts and produces pin-sharp high-contrast detail right into the corners of the frame without even a hint of barrel distortion. Focusing is quick and accurate under nearly all lighting conditions thanks to the AF illuminator, and exposure is consistently spot on…Ricoh has produced something unique, a compact camera that will satisfy even the most demanding enthusiast. Its combination of compact portability, robust build quality, superb handling, creative control and fantastic picture quality should make it a firm favourite among keen photographers, especially the travel photographers who loved the original GR film camera. An expensive camera, especially for the whole kit, but well worth the money.

“The level of detail recorded is very good, edges are sharp and there is very little sign of chromatic abberations. The performance remains good when using the optional wide-angel converter, the images are very slightly softer with a small drop in contrast, which is much better than I expected.
Pro: Clarity of images, Build quality, No-nonsense design, Optional wide angle converter, Macro mode.”
Cons: Display blackout when using continuous shooting, Time taken to write RAW images, Auto white-balance tends to create a strong cyan cast.

Ricoh GR Digital - Review @ Digital LifeStyle
Mike Slocombe has posted his review on Ricoh GR, a point-and-shoot digital camera with 8.1 Megapixel CCD, a fixed F2.4 focal length for the newly-developed GR 28mm wideangle lens and 2.5″ LCD screen.
“The Ricoh GR Digital is a truly unique digital camera that stands out from the crowd by concentrating on the basics, offering a speedy performance, full creative control, a good battery life and a fast, crisp wide-angle lens that made it perfect for landscapes and cameos.
Because of its niche appeal, the Ricoh’s a tough camera to unreservedly recommend, but for keen street/landscape photographers looking for a rugged, flexible, high quality camera capable of the very highest results, we’d put the GR Digital right at the very top of the list.”
