RegHardware reviews the Rico Caplio R5, which boasts a 7.24-megapixel CCD, large 2.5-inch LCD display, Smooth Imaging Engine II, 26MB of internal memory, an SD/MMC card slot, and a powerful 7.1x optical wide zoom lens. It measures 96 x 55 x 26mm and is capable of taking up to 380 shots on a single charge. Here’s the verdict:

The long zoom, 7.24 megapixel CCD, stunning macro, compact size and image stabilization all help the R5 to justify £250 ($415USD) asking price, but as a package there’s just not enough it excels at to make it easy to recommend without reservations. Good but not great
