Ricoh R8 Digital Point & Shoot Camera

The new R8 combines a new 10 megapixel CCD with the popular Smooth Imaging EngineV image processing engine of earlier models to take high-definition photography to a higher level. The R8 also offers various other enhanced capabilities for fun and easy photography, such as a large 2.7-inch, 460,000-pixel HVGA LCD and the same 1:1 aspect square format photography function that has proven extremely popular on Ricoh's Caplio GX100 (launched April 2007) and GR DIGITALU (launched November 2007) models. In addition to the specification improvements, the R8 has also undergone a complete redesign. This new model combines ease of use and superior technical specifications in a body that is contemporary and stylish and that has been designed based on the concept "A tool you will want to use every day." In creating the R8 as a tool for taking photographs, great care has been given not only to styling and coloring but also to its operability, portability, comfort in hand, and its solid, high-quality feel.
