Ricoh has launched the Ricoh G600, a new water and dust-resistant digital camera which will now be available along with the popular Caplio 500G Wide (launched in May 2006). The Ricoh G600 is smaller and lighter yet it still passes Ricoh‘s shock resistance test for a 1.5 m fall, a test that conforms to US Department of Defense standards. In addition to the 5x optical wide-angle zoom lens (equivalent to 28-140 mm for a 35 mm camera), the Ricoh G600 continues to provide the same strong set of features as previous models, such as a 1 cm macro function and a flash range of 10 m. It is perfect for customers who want to take pictures in a variety of outdoor activities, such as marine sports, mountain climbing, and fishing.

The outdoors, such as the ocean, mountains and rivers, are full of photo opportunities. G600 is a camera that you can use with assurance in even such challenging scenes.

The compact but tough body that can withstand water, dirt and impact can be used smartly and with preeminent ease in various situations. Ricoh's excellent technology provides clear image quality and high-grade photography functions that can be powerful tools in vigorous and challenging scenes.
