Ricoh G600 ‘perfect for outdoor activity shots’
23 Apr 2008
The new Ricoh G600 is a water and dust-resistant digital camera that is smaller and lighter than its predecessors yet still robust enough to be “perfect” for shooting outdoor activities such as climbing, fishing and marine sports, the manufacturer has said.
The camera has been tested to Ricoh’s shock resistance standard - a 1.5 metre fall. This test also conforms to US Department of Defence specifications, the company added.
It also comes with improved water and dust sealing to protect its features from being damaged by the elements.
Among those features are a 5x optical zoom lens, equivalent to a 28mm to 140mm lens on a 35mm camera, a one centimetre macro mode and a flash with a range of ten metres.
Furthermore, the ten effective megapixel camera comes with a 2.7-inch high definition display, automatic light balance and skew correction, which makes images shot from an angle appear as though they were shot from the front.
Other cameras in the Ricoh range include the Ricoh Capilo R7 and the Ricoh Capilo R8.
