The Ricoh G600 is the weapon of choice for the ASL editorial team and here’s why...
It has everything we need to deliver our beloved readers information, entertainment and inspiration via multiple media channels. Our current focus is to provide content not only via our magazine but also through our website, podcasts, e-newsletter and directly to your mobile phone. To do this we need hardy, reliable equipment that can capture photos, video and sound.
Thanks to this nifty piece of technology the days of running around with a camera, a dictaphone and a clunky video camera are over. This little chunk of space age technology does it all, and measures a paltry 6.5cm x 11.5cm. You know what else? The hardy little nugget is idiot proof, drop proof, dust proof and waterproof. It doesn’t get much better for us and our uncoordinated ways.
Some of the features of our new best mate include:
A 10 megapixel digital camera – more than you probably ever need; A top quality lens that ranges from 28mm (wide angle) to 140mm (decent zoom); A built-in zoom lens – less moving parts = more waterproof;
The G600 has a bunch of simple settings for things like video, and special settings like “macro” – in case you want to shoot stuff close up, “high sens” – for recording in dark places, and even “fightfighting” – for shooting around fire, which make it fairly convenient to use.
