Ricoh Caplio 400G Wide Review

The Ricoh Caplio 400G Wide has a recommended retail price of £349.99

As a digital camera, the Ricoh Caplio 400G Wide is a neat and tidy kind of product. It's not very different from the 100's of other 3 megapixel digital cameras on the market, either in terms...

Ricoh Caplio 400G

Ricoh's Caplio 400G seems to rely upon novelty value to attract customers. It is dubbed as a water-resistant, highly durable camera and when looking a...

Reasonable features

Big, poorly sealed, limited underwater function, weak sensor, expensive

A novelty camera that fails at its only gimmick.

Ricoh Caplio 400G review

The 3.2 megapixel Ricoh Caplio 400G Wide was announced back in March 2004 and has been available since mid-May. It falls into the waterproof category of digital cameras - you can use it underwater at a depth of 1m or less for up to 30 minutes. As a...

Wide-angle lens, well-built, very sppedy operation

Purple fringing, noise at fast ISO speeds, can't select aperture or shutter speed

If you're looking for a digicam that will take a lot of abuse, thenthe Ricoh Caplio 400G Wide should be on your shortlist.

Dylon Wash & Dye Black

Fantastic stuff. Brought my favourite black jacket back to life - from a worn out faded grey, to jet black. One full packet of the 400G added to the machine, 40 degree wash, then 40 degree rinse cycle, job done. Highly recommend.

Brilliant stuff!

I bought this to dye a light grey coat of 100% cotton. It worked a dream. I followed all the instructions, which we in English, and rinsed my machine out with a cup of bleach. The machine was fine and then I proceeded to wash a load of white towels. No...

DYLON WASH & DYE BLACK MACHINE DYE FABRIC LARGE 400G !

I used this dye twice now and each time i had a great result,the only thing with this dye is that it stains the rubber off your washing machine but it fades after a few washes
