As much as I object to the use of the word “cyber” outside of early 80s-90s science fiction movies Sony are really on to someting with the Titanium coated Cyber-shot W300.
Not only is it, theoretically, scratch resistant in the places coated by titanium but it’s also absolutely beautiful. Sony have gone for an exceptionally refined single tone design that isn’t broken up by harsh bands of what other manufacturers would call “styling”. Not only that but it also packs an impressive 13.6 mega pixel resolution a 2.7 inch LCD and a high definition video output. As if we ever needed any more reason than looks to pick one up.

Already two versions removed from the Ricoh R6 I reviewed what seems like only weeks ago the Ricoh R8 is the successor to the R7. Both the R7 and the R8 tout a 7.1x optical wide-angle zoom lens with a 28-200mm in 33mm focal length in an incredibly compact package at just 22.6mm at its thinnest point.
The R8, however, touts an impressive 10 megapixel CCD combined with the R7s popular Smooth Imaging Engine III image processing engine. The R8 really is high-definition photography in your pocket.
The body of the R8 has undergone a complete re-design to produce something far more contemporary and stylish than the earlier models.
The Ricoh R8 will arrive in March for around £249.99 and has notably dropped the “Caplio” moniker present in its predacessors.

The Ricoh Caplio R6 is, in my humble opinion, one of the best looking low-end cameras on the market. Available in Black, Red and Silver with the former two very tastefully combining their primary colour with silver accented styling it’s almost certain to impress. Of course looks aren’t everything; the Caplio R6, successor to the R5, packs some admirable specifications in its stylish, diminutive body. Ricoh have cheated somewhat, however, to get the “thinnest-point” thickness claim of their camera down leaving the Caplio R6 with a number of irksome protrusions.
