Ricoh Caplio R6 Digital Camera

The Ricoh Caplio R6 is a fabulous camera, have a another leading brand camera which is superb but wanted a bigger viewing screen, this is excellent for wide screen shots and has a superb 7x zoom, simple to use, just perfect and the final results are stunning. Very good price for such a brilliant camera.

I don't do technical. This is from my viewpoint as an amateur user with particular requirements.

The R6 is a fabulous little camera. It's my second Caplio, and I would recommend them highly.

I bought it specifically for its excellent macro capability, because I sell jewellery and getting good close-up shots of details, hallmarks and flaws is important to me.

But I've taken it and its predecessor on holiday, and it's equally good for landscape and wide-angle shots.

It's very robust and looks great too, with its red body - but be warned - the silver pieces I'm photographing do tend to pick up reflections. If I'd thought it through I might have chosen another colourway.

Very pleased. Easy to understand & work out different settings. Quick to change between different modes. Good quality photos. The only drawback I find of small digital cameras is the slow response time to closing shutter so 'catching the moment' can be tricky.

Due to weight restrictions when flying, I bought this as a back-up for my SLR and all its assorted lenses as it is so small. I did not expect the fantastic results. Particularly using black & white with a tripod. Excellent quality, and intuative controls make this a real gem of a camera. Highly recommended, I now carry it at all times.

My boss bought this camera after extensive technical investigation so I took his recommendation and have been thrilled. I am not a technical wiz but have found the variety of different features on this camera are easy to use and fun ( but do take time to read the easy to download manual). I am particularly impressed with the video and sound quality, black and white feature and face zoom which are only a few of the options available.The camera has several settings which enable you to “point and shoot” so it is ideal for non-technical users but has plenty of different settings for the more advanced user. I bought a 2mb card so can take up to 770 photos , 45mins video. Battery life is very good. The camera is light weight and very compact. Easy software installation. The biggest problem I have had with this camera is fuzzy pictures when the light is fading but I feel this is down to user error and settings. I am still learning. All in all very very pleased.

Great little compact digi camera, the best optical zoom in it's class and decent resolution,over 7 mega pixels. Bought for my daughter who uses a Nikon D200 and D100 but needs a compact to carry always.
