Ricoh unveils G700, a true on-the-job camera

Ricoh announced the launch of the G700, a water, dust, shock
and chemical resistant camera meant for tough conditions and on-the-job
use. 

The G700 can withstand the shock of being dropped from
heights of up to two meters and is able to shoot underwater at depths of up to
five meters for two hours. The unit is also resistant to chemicals like ethanol
and hypochlorous acid. Other practical features include: various security
functions that allow for password-protection, oversized buttons for ease of use
when wearing gloves, and a barcode scanner and reader.

While many of the features of the G700 were seen in its
predecessor, the G600, useful updates like its chemical resistance allow for
the camera to be cleaned with disinfectants without damaging it—this makes it ideal for professionals working in industries and locations
where hygiene is essential, such as medical facilities, factories or disaster
areas.

The 12.1 megapixel camera features a 5x optical zoom
(28-140mm lens equivalent), a high ISO of 3200, a 3-inch LCD screen, and a
built in flash effective up to ten meters away.
