Camera Overview — Ricoh RDC-200G

The Ricoh RDC-200G is an early-era digital point-and-shoot camera built around a 1/2-inch sensor capable of capturing images at a maximum resolution of 1600x1200 pixels at 2MP. One of its more distinctive characteristics for its time is a water-resistant body constructed from plastic with weather-resistant sealing, making it a practical choice for outdoor use where exposure to the elements is a genuine concern. The camera features a 1.8-inch TFT LCD display with a resolution of 110,000 dots for image review, complemented by an optical real-image tunnel viewfinder for composing shots in bright conditions.

Autofocus is handled via a contrast detection system with single-area focusing. The fixed ISO of 100 means this camera is optimized for well-lit environments. Flash versatility is covered through a built-in unit offering Auto, On, Off, Red-eye reduction, and Slow Sync modes, with a standard hot shoe available for external flash attachment.

The camera draws power from four AA batteries — accepting both NiMH and Alkaline types — and connects to a computer via USB. Storage relies on internal storage alongside other media options, and images are recorded in the sRGB color profile.
