A compact, lightweight, water and dust-resistant, wide-angle 5x zoom digital compact featuring enhanced shock resistance for outdoor use.
Ricoh has launched the G600, a new water- and dust-resistant digital camera that will now be available along with the popular Caplio 500G Wide (launched in May 2006). The G600 is smaller and lighter yet it still passes Ricoh‘s shock resistance test for a 1.5m fall, a test that conforms to US Department of Defense standards. In addition to the 5x optical wide-angle zoom lens (equivalent to 28-140 mm for a 35mm camera), the G600 continues to provide the same strong set of features as previous models, such as a 1cm macro function and a flash range of 10m. It is perfect for users who want to take pictures in a variety of outdoor activities, such as marine sports, mountain climbing, and fishing.

Main features of the new Ricoh G600

1. Superior water and dust resistance plus even greater shock resistance make the G600 ideal for hard outdoor use.
2. Powerful flash with effective range of up to 10m and ISO3200 sensitivity for low-light photography.
3. Large 2.7-inch picture display.
4. Compact and lightweight body that can be carried in a breast pocket.
5. A 28-140 mm wide-zoom lens on a water and dust-resistant digital camera.

Accessories included: rechargeable battery DB-60/battery charger BJ-6/USB cable/neck strap

The Ricoh G600 will be available May 2008 priced at £349.99.
