Posted on Monday, September 19 2005 @ 9:49 CEST by Thomas De Maesschalck

Ricoh presented the Caplio RR530, a new compact digital camera with a 5 megapixel sensor and 3x optical zoom, 4x digital zoom and 12MB internal memory.

Weighing in at just 130g without batteries, the Caplio RR530's stylish, compact body fits easily into your palm and your pocket. The RR530 makes taking quality photos easier than ever before – it really is as simple as “point and shoot”. With this little smoothie, even absolute beginners will find digital photography a breeze. For those who wish to get a little more creative, the RR530's Mode dial enables the user to choose a movie mode or four scene modes: Portrait, Landscape, Sports or Night.

What's more, the brightness of the 1.8-inch LCD monitor is easily adjusted, meaning your images can be viewed clearly in any light. Transferring photos to your PC is fast and simple with the RR530's USB connector. The handy 12 MB internal memory means the RR530 is ready to shoot straight out of the box, but it also supports an optional SD Memory card, a popular and widely used storage medium.
