Ricoh intros 7-megapixel Caplio RR730 point-and-shoot

by Darren Murph posted Nov 11th 2006 at 10:39AM

While you're not likely to color us impressed with yet another humdrum 7-megapixel compact, Ricoh's Caplio RR730 offers decent specifications at an entry-level price for those still looking to get a digicam in their pocket. Picking up where the RR660 left off, this 3.5- x 2.4- x 1-inch camera boasts a 3x optical zoom (and 4x of the practically useless digital variety), 320 x 240 resolution movie mode, 6 built-in scene modes, and a macro mode that focuses on objects just 5-centimeters away. Additionally, it sports a 2.5-inch LCD, 32MB of internal storage capacity, SD slot, USB connectivity, and video output, and it gets its juice from a pair of AA batteries. So if you're in the market for a perfectly average point-and-shoot camera to put in your boss' stocking this year, the RR730 will reportedly hit later this month for just £130 ($248).

Like the RR630 before, this RR730 is evidently
just a rebadged camera actually made by
Premier Image of Taiwan. I'm not stating an
opinion on the camera, just pointing out that
isn't really an entirely original Ricoh design, yo.

See, here it is, the Premier DC7370:
