Ricoh Caplio R40 Unveiled

26 May, 2006, 12:00 pm IST | by Gagan Gupta | Point and Shoot

Ricoh has announced the Ricoh Caplio R40 compact camera, featuring a 5.7x optical wide zoom in a slim body only 26mm deep. Available in black, the new Ricoh Caplio R40 is a more affordable version of the highly successful R4, which featured a 7.1x optical wide zoom lens. In addition to its wide zoom lens, the new Ricoh Caplio R40 caters for every photographic situation. These vary from sweeping landscapes to indoor shots needing a wide-angle lens, to close-ups using telephoto. The Ricoh R40 features a top-of-its-class macro mode, enabling users to photograph an object from as close as 1cm. Release time lag is as low as approximately 0.09 seconds. Quick response is essential in order to capture those brief, picture-perfect moments of which memories are made. The Ricoh R40's near-instantaneous reactions mean such shots are now within easy reach. Long-life rechargeable battery and charger let you shoot approximately 350 pictures on a single charge. The 6 megapixel CCD combined with Ricoh's Smooth Imaging Engine enables high-speed processing and noise reduction, resulting in clear, high-definition images with faithful color reproduction. Large 2.5-inch LCD makes for easy composition and increased efficiency. ricoh_r40_t.jpg [/TAGS]
