The new RR730 Digital Camera is a very compact little device. It is only 3.5 x 2.4 x 1 inch number that has a lot of features for something of its size.

First of all, you should know that it has 7.1 Megapixels, which gives the user the best of details and the most vibrant of colors. You can enlarge your photos to A4 size (21 cm x 30 cm) with no loss of detail. Its optical 3x zoom is about to give the best close-up shots, but an additional zoom makes it up to 12x zoom.

On the back of the camera is a bright 2.5 inch LCD monitor that allows viewing of your latest material. The camera is also USB connectable and has video output functionality, so it can see your photos from your TV or laptop. All this comes with 32 MB of storage space, so you should have plenty of space for your pictures. If 32 MB isn’t enough, then simply purchase an SD Memory Card for even more space.

The camera also has a macro mode that can capture excellent details of life. You can capture the intricate beauty of a small object from as little as a few inches away.

You can also use the Select Movie mode to create video footage with a resolution of 320 x 240. You have the option of selecting Scene modes (Auto, Program, Portrait, Landscape, Sports, and Night) to capture incredible shots. Each one is designed for special shots. For example, the Night mode is designed to clear shots with minimal light, and the Sports mode is designed for fast-moving objects.

The Ricoh Caplio RR730 is slated to hit the market later this year with a price of $248 USD. The camera is not rechargeable, and relies on its power from 2 AA batteries.

You have to admit that taking a digital picture and sending a digital picture has that often inconvenient middle-man of downloading the pictures onto your computer. Ricoh, a Japanese technology company, has found a way to make this process simpler with the creation of their new wireless digital camera.

The Capilo 500SE allows you to take a digital picture and then send it via Bluetooth. So transferring pictures to family or friends via cell phone is now easier-than-ever. The camera also has a model W which can send pictures via B/G WiFi, so it is as easy as click, save, send, and enjoy.

The 8.1- megapixel camera features a 3X optical zoom and a 2.5 inch LCD screen. It has a hard surface that makes it resistant to dust, water, and shock. It only features 26MB worth of memory, but supports SD cards.

The Capilo 500SE will soon be released in Japan, but it may take a while before it reaches overseas. The Bluetooth model is projected to retail at about $990.00 USD, while the 500SE W Wifi model should be $1,100.00 USD.

Macro photography at 1 cm is possible with the Ricoh Caplio R40. With a .007-second shutter release time lag (somebody is a James Bond fan out there at Ricoh), this high-speed response is highly appreciated. What's more, the camera resets itself for the next shot in just half a second.

The preview LCD monitor offers a 153,000 pixel display, so during playback, your images look more detailed than before. The Caplio is a slim model at just 26mm - thanks to the double-retracting lens system, they even managed to stuff in a 5.7x optical zoom lens inside the slender body.

There is no mention of an anti-shake system in place, but the camera features eight scene modes and three continuous shooting modes. You can also shoot videos with sound on the Caplio R40. On a full charge, Ricoh claims you can shoot as many as 350 photos.

Available starting June, there is no word on the pricing yet. Access the Ricoh Caplio R40 product page for details. Colors include Champagne and Black.

The Ricoh GR Digital was unveiled in October 2005 and gained popularity for the high-resolution. Thanks to its high quality 28mm lens which can be used with a converter to cover angles up to 21mm, it provides superior quality images, making it a hit with amateurs and pros.

All this in a sleek 25mm body is, of course, too good to resist. Ricoh's efforts did not go unnoticed by the TIPA. The TIPA Awards, aimed at recognizing the best products in the photo/imaging field, awarded the Best Prestige Camera 2006 to the GR Digital.

Priced at £399.99, details on the Ricoh GR-Digital is available from Ricoh's website.

The recently announced Ricoh Caplio R4, a slim, 6-megapixel camera, offers up to 7.1x optical zoom and even boasts vibration correction functionality. The 28-200mm wide-angle lens is the biggest in this class of point-and-shoot digital cameras, making it suitable for amateurs and pros alike.

A high-res preview LCD is provided on the back, but the neat part is that the brightness can be modified depending on the ambient light. Of course, if this was automatic, that would've been great but that would also push up the price. An efficient Smooth Imaging Engine works in the background to process your images.

At just 26mm thick (about the same as my cell phone, really), it's amazing how Ricoh has put in the Double Retracting Lens System to have a 28-200mm lens. If any camera shake is detected, the vibration correction function moves the CCD in the opposite direction so as to counterbalance the shake - giving sharp pictures like never before.

While price has not yet been announced, the Ricoh Caplio R4 is now available. Access Ricoh's website for details.

The Ricoh Caplio R30 features a 5.13 megapixel CCD. Coupled with Ricoh's Smooth Imaging Engine, the camera provides for high-speed processing and noise reduction - great for true color and high quality images. The camera also boasts of quick response times - a mere 0.007 seconds from the time the image is focussed (half-press) to the time exposure actually starts.

Of course, you also get a 2.5" preview LCD. The macro mode is pretty neat; you can shoot images of objects at just 1 cm away. With DB60 batteries, you can shoot almost 330 pictures on a single charge.

Priced at £219.99, the Ricoh Caplio R30 is available now. For more info, check out Ricoh's website.
