Hi all,

Just bought a Ricoh Caplio R7 to replace my Fuji Finepix 601. There are few reviews out there, so I thought I'll start my own.
This is not meant to be a scientific review of the camera.

What I like:

• Lens zoom and quality
• Macro ability
• Size and weight
• Low noise at ISO 64, ISO 400 and higher is limited usable
• ADJ. joystick with custom functions
• Very good manual white balance (and easy to use!)
• Good auto white balance
• Speed of use both in recording and playback
• Auto resize zoom
• Camera shake correction

What I don't like:

• Movie sound quality
• LCD screen is prone to fingerprints
• Low light auto focus speed

Reviewed items:

• ISO range
• ISO range compared to a Canon EOS 350D
• Color saturation settings
• Macro
• Vignetting
• Video and audio
• Service functions updated

All tests were done with firmware version 1.25. 

Check for the latest firmware here. 

More coming soon.
