Ricoh's WiFi/Bluetooth Caplios

Ricoh today announced two additions to its Caplio range, the Bluetooth 2.0-toting 500SE model B and the Bluetooth/WiFi 500SE model W. The latter supports 802.11b and g, plus WEP and WPA/WPA2 security. Both have an 8.13-megapixel CCD and 3X optical zoom, and sport a 2.5-inch LCD on the back. Storage is via 26MB of internal memory and SD cards. As you'll have surmised from the rather functional looks, the cameras are also water/shock/dust resistant.

Weight and pricing are both hefty; the 500SE clocks in at 482g with battery on board, and will cost you Y115,500 ($990) for the Bluetooth model and Y130,200 ($1,100) for the WiFi unit.
