Advantages: 7x optical, great close up function, Special pesonal "Preset setings"

Disadvantages: Flash too near to the side. Awkward position of zooming switch.

Wide to Telephoto in your pocket. This is my 3rd Ricoh camera after the G4 Wide & RX. It is a great camera to carry if you don't want to carry a SLR around. The close up function is great too. Battery live is good & can take up to 300 shots before noticing a missing notch in the battery level indicator. I took it on tour to Europe and got many great outdoor pictures. Interesting to note that its battery is compatible with Panasonic Lumix models.

Summary: A worthy companion.
