The new GR DIGITAL II retains the original concept of the GR DIGITAL of being a high-resolution compact camera that achieves excellent resolving power from edge to edge, low noise, and low color aberration.

the Ricoh Caplio GX100 has several revolutionary features for a compact camera, but we doubt it will sell well. And the reason is because a typical compact camera buyer is a point-and-shoot photographer who places a strong weighting on brand, design and resolution when deciding on a purchase.

In low light, the strong flash compensated well. While attempting to shoot macro images, the image stabilisation feature also came in handy. Compared with the Caplio R4, we found the light meter on the R6 had improved considerably.

Image quality seems very similar to the Ricoh Caplio R5 and is capable of very good results outside in good lighting.

Ricoh have included a Vibration Correction system that should ensure sharper photos at slower shutter speeds than normal. Other highlights of the Ricoh Caplio R7 include a 1cm macro mode and the usual fast responsiveness that you always get from a Ricoh camera.

The Ricoh Caplio R7 is the latest in the range, and was launched in August this year. It is an 8.15-megapixel compact camera featuring a 2.7-inch monitor with 230k pixel resolution, moving-sensor mechanical image stabilisation, and a flush-retracting 7.1x optical zoom f/3.3 - f/5.2 lens with a zoom range equivalent to 28-200mm.

The R7 lens is equally responsive and goes from in your face to the distant horizon in no time at all. However, as is often the case with supped-up compacts, the image quality tends to drop off a little when it’s fully extended, with some barrel distortion and less detail towards the edges of the image.
