of the cost of original manufacturers and can be used in many makes and models of digital device. Rechargeable digital batteries are rated in "mAh" which stands for "milli-ampere hours". This rating is used to state the storage capability of a battery, e.g. a 1000mAh battery would be capable of delivering 1000mA of current consistently for one hour whereas a 2000mAh battery would deliver the same 1000mA of current for two hours. Li-on rechargeable digital batteries can deliver 40% more capacity than comparably sized NiCd batteries and weigh less than the nickel-based batteries and develop no memory effect. U-Bop battery cells are environmentally friendly, feature a very high energy density and have no memory effect. All batteries are produced to the highest quality standards. A built-in microprocessor safeguards the cells by limiting maximum voltage and by protecting against deep discharge, short circuit and overload. Brought to you by U-Bop The Accessories Boutique

(+) Handling, quality, seems to take great pictures all by itself! That great 24mm lens (-) Sorry, but if you think the price is high, you don't understand value.
Advantages: fast, good pictures, good battery life Disadvantages: ugly
...and exchange it for the Ricoh Caplio G3, which is an equivalent digital camera by a manufacturer that I trust, even if they don't have as good a reputation ias Nixon.
I have used the Ricoh RDC-2 for a long time, and it is a great camera. I will probably continue to use the RDC-2 alongside this G3 because they're both good for different things. The G3 is higher resolution, but the RDC-2 is more forgiving.
Anyway, enough waffle - the Ricoh Caplio ... ...nice feature - with the Ricoh RDC 5500 the viewfinder was in the centre and you got nose prints all over the screen if you ever used the normal viewfinder!
Theres a lot of buttons on the back of the camera, and a small LCD display. The display is bright and crisp though, and the buttons are clearly labelled.
EASE OF USE
This camera isn't quite as intuitive to use as the Nikon 3200 - the error messages and general reporting on screen ...

Advantages: Light, compact, and loads of features Disadvantages: Heavy on batteries (use rechargeables!)
This is my first digital camera, and recommended for anyone who wants a light, compact digital zoom camera for around £250 with loads of features. It comes with an easy to understand instruction book, a handstrap (no case), USB cable and CD-Rom for downloading photos to your PC, and an AV cable (haven't used this, but apparently you can view photos on your TV). It has a wide/telephoto lens, with 3 x optical and 3.4 x digital zoom. One of the most ... ...action shots), Landscape (for lots of green/blue in your photos),Nightscape, Text, High Sensitivity (easier to see LCD screen in the dark). You can review your photos on the LCD screen,and delete one or all shots. There's also a continuous mode of 16 shots, for when you don't quite know when to expect that perfect photo. The Macro setting is brilliant for flowers and insects, as you can get within 1cm! I haven't found any use for the microphone setting, ...

Manufacturer's product description
Never miss that moment again. With a shutter response of just 0.14 seconds - faster than regular 35mm SLR cameras - images are snapped up practically at the same time you press the shutter button. Capture the precious laugh of a child, a jumping dog or even a fast moving car - nearly anything is possible using the Caplio G3 with Ricoh's patented hybrid auto focusing system technology. The Caplio G3 is a very simple and stylish digital camera that was curved and sculpted to fit comfortably in the photographer's hand. Renowned architect and industrial designer Masayuki Kurokawa, in collaboration with in-house designers at Ricoh, developed its unique shape, which gives you the ability to capture action opportunities quickly and reliably through its phenomenally fast shutter response speed.

Picked this up nearly 3 months ago now as my third compact digital after having a kodak for my first then a canon IXUS 500 after that.
I also shoot with a Canon EOS 300d so was looking for great image quality, and a general upgrade from my IXUS.

The first thing many readers will think when looking at this review is "oh my god" how ugly is that camera?", and possibly as a secondary thought, "who the hell are Ricoh, didn't he once manage Arsenal?". The answers to these questions are so obviously... more
