The Ricoh Caplio R6 is a solid compact camera that captures above average pictures and manages to cram a big, wide angled zoom lens into a relatively compact package.

A slimline digicam with some handy recording modes for everyday photographers.Ricoh's Caplio R6 is an upgrade to the popular Caplio R5 model with a slimmer, but slightly longer, body that's 30 grams lighter than its predecessor. Physically, the two cameras look very similar, which isn't surprising as they share the same 7.24 megapixel CCD imager and 7.1x wide-angle zoom lens. The same CCD-shift vibration correction function appears in both cameras, although the R6 benefits from improvements to the correction algorithms. It also sports a larger 2.7-inch LCD and is available in silver, black and red. No viewfidner is provided.
