PhotoReview - 3/31/2007 - has reviewed the 8 megapixel Ricoh Caplio 500G wide and they write, “It’s important to understand that the Caplio 500SE is a highly-specialised imaging device, even though at its heart is a fairly standard 8-megapixel digicam. However, the high price tag ($1399) is partially justified by its robust, weatherproof body, which is well-designed and constructed. (The Caplio 500G, which has similar body specifications, is priced at $1099 by way of comparison.) The addition of a Bluetooth-based, integrated GPS system that actually works is ample justification for the 500SE’s higher price point, especially for photographers who actually need location-based data logging.
Outside of the construction and resource industries, potential users for this camera include adventure travellers, bushwalkers and people who enjoy sports where the camera is likely to get wet or dusty. Unfortunately, it’s not really suitable for snorkelling (unless you stay at the surface) and its depth limit of one metre makes it unusable for Scuba diving.”

Pocket-lint - 12/9/2006 - has reviewed the 8 megapixel Ricoh Caplio 500G wide and they write - “The Ricoh Caplio 500G Wide provides a tough package in terms of build, ease of use and versatility. Image quality is good thanks to a nice lens, fast, accurate focusing and good metering with the caveat on image noise at higher sensitivities. The optical viewfinder leaves a bit to be desired as does the overall clunky look of the camera, but when you bear in mind this camera is more tool than tasty-looking technology.”

Digital Camera Shopper Mag - 10/8/2006 - (September 2006 issue) has reviewed the 8 megapixel Ricoh Caplio 500G wide and they write - “Noise is the 500G Wide’s biggest failing. It’s apparent on nearly all images taken in anything other than bright light, when viewed at actual pixel level. However, if you’re looking for a camera that is not bothered by dirt, sand, water, and even drops onto the concrete this just might be your camera.”
