Camera Overview — Ricoh RDC-7

The Ricoh RDC-7 is a point-and-shoot compact digital camera built around a 1/1.8-inch sensor capable of 3MP resolution at a maximum image output of 2048x1536 pixels. It features a 2.0-inch TFT LCD display with 200,640 dots for image review and composition, complemented by an optical real-image tunnel viewfinder with diopter adjustment for those who prefer eye-level shooting. The camera supports an ISO range of 150 to 400, offering a modest but functional sensitivity window for a camera of this vintage.

Its built-in flash system covers a range of modes including Auto, On, Slow Synchro, Off, Red-eye reduction, and Manual strength adjustment, providing solid flexibility for varied lighting conditions. Image output includes Standard and Monochrome color profiles — the latter offering both black-and-white and sepia renderings. Video recording is available at up to 320x240 resolution at 15fps.

The body is constructed from a plastic and metal composite, weighing 320g with dimensions of 135.4 x 74.0 x 26.6mm. Connectivity includes USB, and the camera runs on a Lithium-Ion rechargeable battery. No image stabilization of any kind is present, and no weather sealing is offered.
