"Banzai Ricoh!"

I bought a Ricoh camera (the R4) about a month ago and it's turning out to be a really great camera for close ups and daytime photos.  Unfortunately, it's not so great for night photos, but - at the moment anyway - that's okay, as I'm generally using it as a daytime camera.  In some situations it takes passable night time photos, but not if it's overly dark or the lighting is a little bit odd - both of which produce disappointing results.  But the closeups!  Clicking on the macro setting enables close-ups as close as 1cm, which is really good for a compact and reasonably-priced camera.

Anyway... if you have any information about Ricoh cameras in general, I'd be interested in hearing it.  Drop me a line or two.
