Ricoh G600 - waterproof, shockproof and a big 5x zoom

[moviezzz]

Hi guys,

Anyone has a chance to try this out? http://www.dpreview.com/news/0804/08042201ricohg600.asp

Aside from those boastings, it can support both is own proprietary battery and 2xAAA size cells.

I have long wanted to get such a camera but the ones Olympus made are quite small zooms so I have been holding back. I have never used Ricoh cameras and would like your advises on its quality and known/perennial issues in other models. Thanks a lot!

Anyone know if this is out in Singapore?

Not in Singapore still?

Found it on eBay for S$1000+! :bigeyes: Dont' think it's worth it then. Might as well get the Pentax Optio W60 for around $400 only.
