PhotographyBLOG has reviewed the 7.24 megapixel Ricoh Caplio R5 and writes - “Ricoh have introduced some significant improvements to the Caplio R5, principally a great continuous shooting mode which allows unlimited shooting at 2.5fps, and the ability to take consecutive flash shots without having to wait for the flash to recharge. In addition there’s even longer batter life (around 350 shots), a much improved movie mode and higher resolution LCD screen, bringing the Ricoh R5 in line with other cameras in this class. However, Ricoh have also made some curious design decisions that make the R5 worse in some respects, namely the much smaller power and zoom buttons which make the camera more awkward to use, the flash unit which protrudes from the front of the camera, and the flimsy battery compartment cover.”
