Ricoh is shipping the Caplio RR630, a relatively compact (91x27x61mm) 6.1-Megapixel digital camera designed to bring the joy of digital photography within reach of first time users. The camera costs just £129 and is available now.

The Caplio RR630 is the latest addition to Ricoh’s growing range of digital cameras. The RR630 promises vivid, crystal-clear images that place it a touch above other cameras in its class.

Equipped with a 3x optical zoom and 4x digital zoom, for a combined 12x zoom, the RR630 should be ready to take on a relatively wide range of photographic challenges.

Weighing in at just 150g, the RR630’s compact body should fit easily into the palm of your hand or your pocket. With this smooth operator, even absolute beginners should have no trouble wowing their friends and family with high-quality digital images.

For those who like to take control of their photos, the RR630’s Mode dial has plenty of creative options, including a movie mode and four scene modes: Portrait, Landscape, Sports and Night. As the resolution 130,000 brightness of the large 2.0-inch LCD monitor is easily adjusted, you should be able to view your images clearly in any light.

Transferring photos to a PC should be a breeze with the RR630’s USB connector. But with just 16MB of internal memory, you’ll not exactly be able to do much out of the box. Thankfully it also features an SD Card slot, enabling the use of this widely used storage medium. Power comes in the way of AA batteries.
