Great for: travel general macro

Ricoh's 2006 travel zoom — 6MP CCD, stabilised 28-200mm 7.1x lens in a 26mm-slim body, 1cm macro

The Ricoh Caplio R4 was announced in February 2006 as part of Ricoh's R series of slim travel-zoom compacts. Its selling point was fitting a 28-200mm-equivalent zoom with image stabilisation into a body just 26mm thick, using Ricoh's Double Retracting Lens System — a range no similarly sized rival offered at the time. The existing R5 in this catalogue is its direct successor.

It combines a 6-megapixel 1/2.5-inch CCD with a 7.1x wide zoom equivalent to 28-200mm at f/3.3-4.8, stabilised by a CCD-shift vibration correction system. The 2.5-inch, 150k-pixel LCD is the sole finder, and a macro mode focuses down to 1cm. The body measures 95x53x26mm, storage is on SD cards, and power comes from a DB-60 rechargeable lithium-ion battery.

This is a travel camera above all: one pocketable body covering genuine wide-angle to long telephoto, with a class-leading close-focus distance for detail and food shots. Ricoh's utilitarian handling appeals to photographers rather than gadget buyers, though the small sensor shows noise above base ISO and the LCD is coarse by later standards.

The folding twin-section lens is the key mechanical check — make sure it extends, zooms across the whole range and retracts without hesitation or error messages. The DB-60 battery is shared with Ricoh's GR Digital line, so replacements and chargers are still obtainable, but confirm one is included. Check the screen for wear and the SD slot for reliable contact; card capacity support predates larger modern cards.
