DP Expert - 5/9/2007 - reviews the Ricoh Caplio R6 and they write, “Ricoh prides itself on being the company that removed the curse of shutter lag from digital photography. Other models we have tested have been almost as fast as SLRs in their responses. The R6 is a perplexing throw-back to a past era. So here we have a camera that has a brilliant lens and can produce beautifully exposed images with fine detail and accurate colour that is infuriating to use if you are trying to photograph children or animals. Try before you buy.”

ePhotozine - 5/3/2007 - has reviewed the the 7.24 megapixel Ricoh Caplio R6 and they write, “There are some great features on the Caplio R6, starting off with the design which is stylish and modern. The zoom is great, really one of the fastest we’ve seen on a compact, and tied in to a 28mm wide angle setting, really gets the camera off to a flying start. The face recognition focus system works well, finding faces where ever they are on the screen, but the portrait mode, with its desire to make everything seem nice and fluffy, rather hammers the detail. I suspect this is okay if the pictures are then printed at no larger than 7×5in., which is pretty much the target audience requirement, but they wouldn’t look good any bigger.”

ThinkCamera - 5/2/2007 - has reviewed the the 7.24 megapixel Ricoh Caplio R6 digital camera and they write, “Overall, Ricoh’s Caplio R6 is very impressive. Ricoh have made some very good choices in how it operates, so it can be full-auto when required, or it can give the photographer control when they want it. This level of control is backed up by an impressive feature set that by and large is well implemented - face detection aside. All this, and it’s responsive and easy on battery life as well.

There are very few problems to report, though it’s a shame the colour fringing is so severe. Also, the LCD flare in bright conditions works against the camera, making it hard to use at times. I’d also like the exposure to be a little better, though it’s quick enough to set some compensation for this so you can work round it.

In all, Ricoh have squeezed a lot into a very small package. Credit must go to them for making a camera that performs so well and does so much. Slip an R6 in your pocket and you’ll be ready for all occasions.”

PCW - 4/16/2007 - has reviewed the the 7.24 megapixel Ricoh Caplio R6 digital camera and they write, “The Ricoh R6 is one of the more capable compacts currently available, and its lens range makes it more flexible than most, but those with large fingers will struggle with the controls.”

PhotoReview - 4/10/2007 - has reviewed the the 7.24 megapixel Ricoh Caplio R6 digital camera and they write, “Shots taken with the test camera were bright and detailed with modest colour saturation but the expected limited dynamic range of small-sensor digicams. Exposure metering slightly favoured shadows, which meant blown-out highlights were common in test exposures, even in relatively subdued lighting. Fortunately, this situation was easily improved by setting the exposure compensation to -0.3EV. Imatest showed resolution to be below expectations and confirmed our subjective detection of edge softening in shots. Barrel distortion was also found at the widest lens setting but no distortion was detected once the lens was zoomed beyond the first third of its range.”

TrustedReviews - 4/9/2007 - has reviewed the the 7.24 megapixel Ricoh Caplio R6 digital camera and they write, “The Ricoh Caplio R6 is a fantastically versatile all-round camera, an improvement in almost every way on the already impressive R5, offering a winning combination of style, build quality, performance and image quality. It is loaded with more features than almost any other camera on the market, and certainly more than any other in its price range. I would happily buy a Caplio R6 myself.”
