Reading the manual pays off

by jasonnadler , Jan 08 '02
Pros: An incredible camera at a great price with many features.
Cons: A few minor gripes, but nothing to dissuade someone from purchasing. Lifespan.
UPDATE: This camera is now defunct. It began after two years of moderate use, about 1500 pictures. The camera just began shutting off. At first, it was an occasional event, but it eventually became a real problem. It would shut off just after I took ...

A Pleasant Surprise

by lightbeing , Oct 14 '00
Pros: Easy to Use, Fantastic Image Quality
Cons: I honestly don't feel like there are any!
About two years ago I became interested in purchasing a digital camera. I spent time researching and trying them out and decided that the technology was just not quite there yet. Recently the urge to find a digital camera reappeared. Both my partner and...

Great camera at a good price

by mariusm , Jul 25 '00
Pros: Many great features for such a low price
Cons: Eats batteries, can have trouble focusing
This is my first digital camera (up until now I have been using a Minolta SLR) and I have been quite pleased with it. I was looking for a camera with USB and 2 megapixels, and was able to pick this up for $500 on shopper.com.

I was expecting a...

Ricoh 2.3 M-pixel delivers quality

by Betwixt , Jan 03 '00
Pros: Superb physical design. Easy to use. Terrific features.

Excellent Pictures

by kenray , Feb 25 '00
Pros: Great Photos
Cons: See review
After seeing the RDC-5300 on QVC, I decided to order it, because I'd been wanting a digital camera for a long time, but had been waiting for the right time to buy. Of course, when it comes to electronics, there really is never a right time, because what...

Digital vs SLR

by sherilyn70 , Apr 12 '00
Pros: Pictures require no color correction, looks and feels like an SLR, easy to use
Cons: Not as versatile as and SLR for artistic shots
When I first set out to look for a camera I was looking for high quality without spending thousands of dollars. I did not think that was possible until I found this camera. The pictures are true to life color and never need to be edited. This is the...

An Excellent Choice

by mrsampler , Oct 12 '00
Pros: Well built and thought out.
Cons: Not for Alkalines.
I have this camera and after a week of using it, I'm still learning things it can do. I found colors coming out wrong, but you have to manually choose the type of light source you are using and after you do, the colors are wonderful and rich. The...

Ricoh RD-5300

by mike_w , Jul 10 '01
Pros: Great resolution, super macro feature, Easy to use
Cons: No manual focus with super macro, Horrible battery life using lcd screen
We needed a digital camera at work and since I owned my own (a Ricoh RD-4300) I was elected to choose own for the office. We use the camera to document failures or wear of our products so we needed to be able to document hairline cracks and other tiny...

A sleek camera

by nonie , Jan 10 '00
Pros: High resolution and optical zoom features
Cons: Needs extra memory for hi res photos
The Ricoh RDC-5300 is one sleek camera. I bought it as a gift for my other half, who has put off buying a camera until digital cameras had resolutions of better than 1.5 megapixels and were a bit less expensive. I chose this product because it fit his...

Just Say No To Ricoh

by graphicsman , Apr 21 '01
Pros: Good Resolution, 3x zoom,
Cons: Needs a "firmware" update from manufacturer before it will interface with Mac.
When I got the Ricoh 5300 home and tried to connect the USB port to my G-4 Mac I ran into trouble. First, the USB portal is behind a rubber "door" which flops down instead of having hinges. This is a flimsy set up. Then I had to load some extensions...

A Bit Disappointed

by kindeyes , Apr 12 '00
Pros: EXCELLENT OPTICS
Cons: Color rendering problems (?)
The camera is jam-packed with usable features and the download via USB is very fast and convenient. The included rechargeable batteries, charger, and full compliment of cables is excellent; even the video is of value. The optics of the camera are...
