    Good Points: Very good viewfinder, good results, easy to pocket.
    Super features.


    Bad Points: Download s/w OK but could be better.
    Can't save exposure setting choice i.e. spot, aperture priority, matrix.
    No manual overrides.


    General comments: This is a my second Ricoh digital camera. (Still have my RDC7) and it is great. Easy to pocket, excellent capability. I have had very good results from this camera. It is as quick as any digicam of the 2000/2001 era and once you have mastered the pre-focus it rarely misses.
    I now have a RDC 7, i500, GR1V and Myport330.
    These cameras are 1st class.
    Well done Ricoh.

    The further issues I have are with the uncompressed TIFF format, which can only be read with a proprietary brand of software that is NOT bundled with the camera. There were also plenty of issues with USB under Win98 and then plenty more problems with Windows XP support.

    Overall the Ricoh RDC-i500 digital camera is value for money but it takes time to get used to the camera.

    My son brought the 1500 back from Japan together with all the manuals in Japanese. Can anybody help me to locate a full set of manuals in English?

    The Ricoh RDC-i500 is an excellent and easy to use digital camera. It might not look as 'camera-like' as others but the range of features it has and the performance more than make up for it.

    There are so many options to customise how you wish to use the camera, it must cater for almost everyone's needs.

    The thumbnail review is excellent, especially if you have been using the auto-bracket or multi shot modes, good for comparison of many photos and it helps to manage your shots.
