Ricoh Caplio GX8

Pros: Intuitive design, very high resolution, inexpensive AA batteries, great high quality lens and 8.1 megapixels.

Cons: Lousy image transfer software, use software995.com and Microsoft scanner and camera software instead.

The Bottom Line: Great camera from Ricoh, but get Microsoft Scanner and Camera importer (part of windows XP) and software995.com to care for your images. Ricoh's software is junk.

Review: This model, the GX8, is near impossible to buy in the United States, but I found a good source on eBay for $439 and it was delivered from Japan in only 2 1/2 days! Yes the camera screen in all in English, or if you want, a bunch of other languages. ...
