The
3.2 megapixel Ricoh Caplio 400G Wide was announced back in
March 2004 and has been available since mid-May. It falls
into the waterproof category of digital cameras - you can
use it underwater at a depth of 1m or less for up to 30 minutes.
As a digital camera it closely resembles other Ricoh cameras
in terms of design and features, but it does have the added
bonus of a wide-angle 28-85mm lens. The Ricoh Caplio 400G
Wide also inherits the speed of the Ricoh Caplio G4, with
a shutter response time of just 0.14 seconds, exceeding the
speed of a conventional 35mm camera, and a very fast start-up
time of 1.9 seconds, which allows you to capture the moment
with a minimum of delay. There aren't too many digital cameras
that can match this unique combination of speed, wide-angle
lens and waterproofness, so does the Ricoh Caplio 400G Wide
live up to its billing? Read my review to find out.
