There are smaller compacts than the Ricoh Caplio R4 available, but none which pack such a useful lens and impressive set of features into them. The camera is about the same size as a packet of cigarettes and fits my hand perfectly, with controls well enough laid out to operate with one hand
of the better examples. An excellent anti-reflective coating on the screen's surface makes it a pleasure to use in even the brightest light. The displayed image is bright, clear, and sharp, especially when reviewing your photos.
Auto-focus
Five different autofocus modes can be found in the menu including, multi-AF, spot AF, MF, snap and infinity focus. The default setting is multi-AF and this locks on quickly when the shutter button is lightly pressed.
Battery life
I managed to get just over 270 shots from a fully charged battery without using the flash, but with the vibration correction feature switched on and with plenty of playback use in between shots.
Memory Card
The Caplio R4 takes SD cards which fit into a slot beside the battery. The following are write speeds for Jpeg quality settings when using a Sandisk Extreme III card.
