Ricoh Bumps Up Megapixels with the GX200 Camera
With 12 megapixels of creamy goodness, Ricoh's GX200 is an upgrade of last year's GX100. The Smooth Imaging Engine III processing engine gives you better noise reduction, there's a 2.7-inch, 460,000-pixel HVGA LCD screen, an electronic level function for horizontal and vertical shooting, and 5fps continuous RAW mode. Cost in the UK is either $700 or $800, depending whether you get the VF-1 electronic viewfinder. Bonus pic and interminably long press release are below. More »

Ricoh G600 Is Both Rugged and Fugged
Does a water-resistant and dust-proof camera really have to be as fugly as this? Ricoh's ten-megapixel, shock-resistant G600 sits alongside its Caplio 500G, and boasts, as well as a 5x zoom, flash with a ten-meter range, 52MB internal memory and hi-def 2.7-inch display. More »

Ricoh Updates Its Compact Camera Series With the R8 and R50
On the left is Ricoh's new R8 compact camera, a successor to last year's R7, packing a 7x optical zoom along with a 10 megapixel sensor with CCD-shift image stabilization. It also has a 1:1 square image capture mode, for that medium-format feel, a 2.7-inch LCD, and captures images up to ISO 1600. Also new is the R50, limited to a 5x zoom, but with the same sensor and image stabilization. More info below the gallery. More »

Ricoh Caplio GX100: 10 Megapixel Compact Will Make You Look Like a Swedish Graphic Designer
The new Ricoh Caplio GX100 doesn't only include a 10 megapixel CCD and 24-72 mm lenses in a surprisingly tight 1 inch-thick package, but it also does it in style, losing the G8's common shiny black compact look in favor of the - beloved by same, hated by others - Ricoh GR's retro style. In fact, I think the GX100 bests the GR, and let's face it, sometimes that's all that matters. More »

Ricoh Caplio R6: Instant 16x Zoom To Review Sharpness Not To Be Used With Britney Spears Photos
Say Yowzah to the Caplio R6. It's hard to know which feature to pick out first from this point-and-shooter, as Ricoh have come up with a whole host of nice additions. How about the quick review feature that lets you instantly enlarge an image 16 times to check the sharpness of your photos? Maybe it's the internal memory of 54MB, so you're not totally screwed when your memory card decides not to play ball. Perhaps the new face-recognition mode, so even while your life moves in a blur, at least your photos won't. Or do you think you need the File Recovery feature to restore the images your Mom threw away by mistake when she was fiddling with the camera? All these and more are available (UK gets first dibs this month) for £229.99 ($440 in our money). A picture of its backside and the specs after the jump. More »

Ricoh Caplio 500SE Camera Shrugs Off Dust, Likes WiFi and Bluetooth
Ricoh's announced these wireless capable digital cameras over in Japan, and we can only hope to see them stateside soon. The 8.13 Megapixel camera can send photos by Bluetooth 2.0, while the W model connects by both Bluetooth and B/G WiFi. On the front, there's a 3x zoom lens that we have no other info on, and on the back, you'll find a 2.5 inch LCD. The camera prefers that you feed it SD cards, unless you want to use the 26MB of internal memory. Yech, what does that hold? Two or three 8-megapixel images? These cameras cost about a grand ($1100 for the WiFi model), and weigh about a pound, including the water resistant, hard candy shell. More »

First we hear that Ricoh has developed an optical device for playing back both Blu-ray and HD DVD discs, and now at Interopto 2006 in Tokyo, the company has officially announced a player using the device. Details are sketchy at this point, but Ricoh says the player supporting its 3.5mm diffraction plate will be available at the end of 2007, with a multiformat burner following soon thereafter. More »

Ricoh Develops Optical Device for Blu-ray/HD DVD Combo Players
As companies such as Toshiba, Samsung and LG allude to dual-format Blu-ray and HD DVD players, Ricoh jumps in with a tiny optical device that makes a goes-both-ways player easier to execute. The company said it has created a 3.5mm diffraction plate that can rock pretty much any format, including Blu-ray, HD DVD, DVD and CD without the need for multiple pickups and lenses. Ricoh will offer the technology to all takers by the end of this year. More »

Ricoh Caplio R40
Ricoh introduced its Caplio R40, a compact digital camera with some pretty impressive specs. We're really liking its thin form factor, where its inch-thick profile must have been an engineering challenge with that 5.7x optical zoom lens inside; we're wondering if digital cameras will go the way of cellphones with a thin-is-in battle. That lens gives you lots of range, too, with the 35mm format equivalent of 28mm to 160mm, and it's shooting into a 6-megapixel CCD. More »

Beat Me, Hurt Me: Ricoh Caplio 500G Wide
If you need to take shots of big, wide things and you like to drop, sit on and otherwise abuse your digital camera, the 8-megapixel Ricoh Caplio 500G Wide is one that doesn't seem to mind a good spanking. Its 28mm wide-angle zoom lens lets you fit more stuff into the shot, and its ruggedized body can stand a butter-fingered drop of up to 3 feet. More »

Ricoh Caplio R4 and RR630 Announced
Ricoh announced two digital cameras, the Caplio R4 and the Caplio RR630. The 6-megapixel R4 (left) has a 7.1x optical wide-angle zoom, which at 28-200mm (35mm equivalent) the company says is the largest range in the compact class. It also features image stabilization in a small form factor of 3.7 inches wide and just over an inch thick. It is a 2.5 inch viewfinder and will be available in silver or black in March at an unannounced price. More »

Oh Ricohhh! Ricoh Caplio R30 Digital Camera
If you're in the market for a new digital camera, give the new Ricoh Caplio R30 a try. The cheaper follow-up to the original Caplio R3 camera, the R30 looks to have lots of great features. You'll be getting 5.13 megapixels with this bad boy and 5.7x optical zooming capability. This camera includes a newly-developed lens storage system, the Double Retracting Lens System, which keeps it real sexy and thin like a bolemic model from Milan. It's quick, too, with a .007 (cue the theme music) response time for quick snapping. All your shots can be previewed on a 2.5" LCD screen, the battery life on a single charge lasts up to 330 shots, and it uses the standard cards like SD and MMC for storage. Not bad, Ricoh, not bad. All this for about $387 makes the Ricoh Caplio R30 a great camera for someone wanting to step up a bit, but not go SLR and empty their pockets. More »

Ricoh Caplio 8 Megapixel Camera Reviewed (Verdict: Just Fine)
When it comes to cameras, Ricoh isn't really a brand that stands out for most people. But they've been around forever and though their stuff isn't always the best quality, you could usually count on a good price. The new Ricoh Caplio GX8 is a new 8 megapixel, compact camera that looks like it might be the breakout product for the company. Comes with a wide angle 28-85mm lens, minimal shutter lag and a great macro-mode for really close up photos (go up to 1cm). Goes for about $400. More »
