As a digital camera, the Ricoh Caplio 400G Wide is a neat
and tidy kind of product. It's not very different from the
100's of other 3 megapixel digital cameras on the market,
either in terms of design or features. It doesn't create photos
that will take your breath away - indeed, they suffer a bit
too much from purple fringing and noise at the higher ISO
speeds. Having said all that, the Ricoh Caplio 400G Wide does
have a few tricks up its sleeve, principally the speed at
which it operates, that very useful wide 28mm lens, and the
fact that it is water and dust proof. If you're looking for
a digital camera that will take a lot of abuse, either above
or below water, then the Ricoh Caplio 400G Wide should find
a place on your shortlist.
