Ricoh Caplio RX
Review Date: May 19th 2004
Introduction
The
Ricoh Caplio RX is the successor to the Caplio G4wide, with
Ricoh claiming that the new model is quicker, slimmer, lighter
and even easier to use. The Caplio G4wide was released in
September of 2003, so it has effectively been replaced by
the Caplio RX after only 6 months. Such is the nature of the
digital camera market at the moment, with newer and better
models being released at least twice a year. The Ricoh Caplio
RX stands out from the rest of the market because of its wide-angle
28mm lens, and because it has the world’s fastest shutter
response and start-up times (at least according to Ricoh when
it was first announced in March 2004). Other features, such
as the 3 megapixel sensor and 3x optical zoom, are standard
for this class of camera, so does the Caplio RX have what
it takes to catch your attention? Find out in my review.
Price
The Caplio RX is so new that I couldn't find any online retailers
selling it! According to Ricoh UK the Caplio RX has a suggested
RRP of £219.99 inc. VAT.
