Ricoh Caplio R7 gets reviewed

Ricoh’s recently-released Caplio R7 digital camera certainly has the specs to get the job done and, judging from Photography Blog’s new review, it looks like the camera as a whole stacks up pretty nicely as well. While it’s apparently not a huge leap over the previous R6 model, the Photography Blog folks nonetheless found a few welcome improvements, including a four-way “joystick” that apparently works particularly well with the updated interface, and a new “vibration correction system” that should lead to some better pictures even in difficult shooting situations. Otherwise, it appears to be pretty much in line with the R6, including that same 7x wide-angle optical zoom lens, and the same speedy performance that Photography Blog says “easily beats the competition.”

Rectangle and Square might have dibs on a lot of neat stuff, but that doesn’t mean Circle has to put up with it.

We think it’s high-time our pal Circle got some of the photo love. Luckily, we’ve got the perfect tool to make it happen: The Circle Cutter.

Using it is simple: adjust the (aptly-named) Circle Cutter to the size you want (it’ll do several, up to about 4″), put it on a regular ol’ dull rectangular photo, then turn the Cutter all around as it cuts. In no time flat, you’ve circle-ized your photo ??� not a 90-degree angle in sight!

Round just opens up a wide new realm of cool possibilities for photos ??� photo curtains (clip ‘em together with the 30 included Foto-Clips), photo badges (circle-ize your photos and pin ‘em on proudly), photo mobiles (cut ‘em then hang ‘em with some thread)… heck, Circle-izing makes the whole world possible (quite literally.)

We love you, old Circle friend. We’re right there with ya, and now, we’re pleased to say, our photos are too.
