The new Ricoh Caplio G3 looks impressive!

Wow..

• Fastest shutter response time of just 0.14 seconds, faster than regular 35mm cameras.
• Shortest 1cm macro distance
• Auto bracketing
• AVI movie recording with sound

I couldn't help noticing the features of this Ricoh Caplio G3 camera. They look impressive and most important to me is the superfast response. It was advertised last week for S$499 at Best-Denki.

But can't find any reviews any where. Should I grab this? Any owners can feedback? I just need a compact, point and shoot camera to capture active kids and so far my research has been disappointing for popular ones like A70 and Nikon 3100. Comments appreciated.

Not advertising lah, me just a newbie seeking opinions from the experts here.

How are the quality of sample pics? I like the macros but not so sure about the kid on the carousel pic.

How come only 1 comment on this camera, this is not really a newbie corner for the point and shoot folks?
