Editorial note
The Ricoh R8 is a camera that stands out for its exceptional image quality, thanks to its 10 MP CCD sensor and a maximum resolution of 3648 x 2736 pixels.

Additionally, the built-in image stabilizer ensures sharp photos and videos, even during dynamic shooting. The various scene modes, such as Portrait and Night, make it easier to optimize settings based on environments, enhancing photographic results. However, the Ricoh R8 has some drawbacks. The maximum video quality of 640 x 480 pixels may seem insufficient compared to current standards, which could disappoint users looking for high-definition videos. Furthermore, the internal memory of only 24 MB is very limited, requiring frequent use of external memory cards. The lack of advanced features such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connectivity makes sharing and transferring images less convenient. Finally, manual focus can be a challenge for beginner photographers who prefer the simplicity of automatic focus. Overall, the user experience is generally positive, with a score of 80 for usability, but manual focus can pose challenges. In terms of photographic performance, the Ricoh R8 scores 70, mainly due to the limited video quality. The battery offers decent autonomy with a score of 75, although the lack of modern charging options may disappoint some users. Its compact and lightweight design is a major asset, with a score of 85, making the camera easy to carry. Finally, while the value for money is reasonable with a score of 70, the limited internal memory may require additional investments in memory cards. Overall, the Ricoh R8 is a good choice for those looking for a compact and efficient camera, provided they take its limitations into account.Score details
