RDC i700 RESOLUTION

The i700 offers resolutions of 2048 x 1536, 1024 X 768, 640 x 480, and 320 x 240 (for movies) with file formats of Uncompressed TIFF, JPEG, AVI (motion) and WAV (sound). For image transmission, you can choose from 15 levels of resolution and compression –depending on whether speed or quality is preferred– without altering the original.

RDC i700 INTERFACE

On the camera side, the i700 offers both USB and Serial transfer as well as NTSC and PAL video out. Communications-wise, it can take a variety of cards to let it operate over all current wired and wireless networks. A free firmware upgrade will be available from Ricoh when 2.5G arrives.

RDC i700 SNAPSHOT

The Ricoh RDC i700 is a 21st Century image capturing device that's not only an excellent camera, but can perform both wired and wireless communications functions including surfing the web, uploading pictures to a site, and sending emails with photo attachments annotated in handwriting, text or voice. It can also transmit faxes of documents shot in a special text mode and capture movies-with-sound. Now if it could only beam you somewhere on command; Ricoh is working on that feature for the 22nd Century model.
