Camera Overview — Ricoh Caplio R7

The Ricoh Caplio R7 is a compact point-and-shoot digital camera built around an 8MP, 1/2.5-inch sensor capable of capturing images at a maximum resolution of 3264x2448 pixels. Designed for everyday portability, the camera measures just 99.6 x 55 x 23.3 mm and weighs a very manageable 135g, making it an easy fit in a pocket or small bag. The rear screen is a 2.7-inch TFT LCD with a resolution of 230,000 pixels, providing a reasonably sized panel for composing shots and reviewing images.

Focusing is handled by a contrast detection autofocus system. One notable inclusion for a camera of this size is sensor-shift image stabilization (IBIS), which helps reduce the effects of camera shake during handheld shooting. The ISO range runs from 64 to 1600, offering a degree of flexibility across different lighting conditions.

Video recording tops out at 480p. For storage, the camera uses SD cards, and connectivity includes USB. Power comes from a Lithium-ion DB-70 battery.

There is no Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, reflecting its 2007-era design. Weather sealing is not present on this model.
