Camera Overview — Ricoh Caplio RR230

The Ricoh Caplio RR230 is a compact point-and-shoot digital camera built around a 2MP sensor measuring 1/3 inch in size, capable of capturing images at a maximum resolution of 1600x1200 pixels. Designed for straightforward everyday use, it offers a simple shooting experience without the complexity of interchangeable lenses or advanced manual controls. The camera's 1.6-inch fixed LCD display renders images at 60,000 dots, giving shooters a basic but functional rear screen for framing and review.

Autofocus is handled by a contrast detection system working from a single focus point, keeping the operation uncomplicated. For exposure flexibility, ISO sensitivity runs from ISO 100 to ISO 400. The built-in flash covers Auto, Off, Forced, Red-eye reduction, and Slow synchro modes, making it reasonably versatile for indoor and low-light snapshots.

Power comes from two AA batteries — compatible with Alkaline, Ni-MH, or Lithium cells — which is a practical choice given the widespread availability of that battery format. Storage options include both internal memory and SD cards. The body is constructed from plastic, weighs 180g, and measures 105 x 41.5 x 63 mm, making it genuinely pocketable.

An optical viewfinder is also present as an alternative to the LCD. Connectivity includes USB for image transfer. No image stabilization of any kind is present.
