Camera Overview — Ricoh RDC-i700

The Ricoh RDC-i700 is a point-and-shoot digital camera built around a 3MP sensor housed in a 1/1.8-inch type sensor format. It captures images at a maximum resolution of 2048x1536 pixels and offers color profile options including Standard, Monochrome, and Sepia — giving shooters a degree of creative flexibility at the capture stage. The camera's standout physical feature is its large 3.5-inch TFT LCD touch-screen display with 200,000 dots of resolution, an unusually generous screen for a compact camera of its era.

An optical tunnel viewfinder is also available as an alternative framing option. ISO sensitivity runs from a base of ISO 150 up to ISO 400, keeping the range modest but functional for well-lit shooting conditions. Storage is handled via CompactFlash cards or internal storage, and connectivity is provided through USB.

A built-in flash is included for low-light situations. The camera weighs 450g and measures 157 x 93 x 33 mm, giving it a solid, purposeful feel. Battery life is rated at approximately 200 shots per charge using the rechargeable lithium-ion pack.

Video recording is supported at 15fps under the Standard color profile. No image stabilization of any kind is present, and weather sealing is absent.
