Launched in 1997, it was one of the early pioneers to feature a 1.8-inch TFT LCD monitor, a luxury at the time of its release. Equipped with a 350,000-pixel CCD sensor and a fixed 4mm f\/3.8 Ricoh lens (equivalent to 38mm in 35mm format), this camera was designed for portability and ease of use. With its distinctive horizontal \"bar\" design and integrated 4MB internal memory, the RDC-300 captures a unique aesthetic of early digital photography, delivering low-resolution, high-character images that are increasingly popular with \"lo-fi\" digital enthusiasts and vintage tech collectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"2\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"2\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,0,0\"\u003eVintage 350,000-pixel CCD sensor for authentic 90s digital aesthetic\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,1,0\"\u003eBright 1.8-inch TFT LCD monitor for real-time framing and playback\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,2,0\"\u003eFixed 4mm f\/3.8 Ricoh lens (38mm equivalent) for a natural perspective\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,3,0\"\u003eIntegrated 4MB internal memory—enough for approximately 25-100 images\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,4,0\"\u003eMacro mode capability for close-up shots from 1cm to 60cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,5,0\"\u003eBuilt-in automatic flash with multiple modes including red-eye reduction\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,6,0\"\u003eRobust, pocket-friendly \"bar\" style chassis with an integrated lens barrier\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eIntroductory Paragraph\u003c\/b\u003e The Ricoh RDC-300 is the definitive choice for the collector who appreciates the \"Dawn of Digital.\" This specific unit (S\/N: 101583) is a time capsule of 1997 engineering, offering a tactile and visual experience that modern smartphones cannot replicate. While its 640 x 480 resolution may seem modest today, the RDC-300 was a powerhouse of its era, favored for its unique form factor and surprisingly capable macro mode. It represents a transition point in photography where film was still king, but the convenience of instant digital review was beginning to change the world. Whether you are a vintage tech historian or a photographer chasing a specific \"Y2K\" lo-fi look, this Ricoh provides the mechanical soul and digital character of a true industry pioneer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCondition Report\u003c\/b\u003e Good condition. The camera body (S\/N: 101583) shows normal signs of light use and minor cosmetic surface wear consistent with its vintage age. The 4mm f\/3.8 lens is optically clear. The 1.8-inch LCD screen is functional and bright. The flash fires correctly in all modes, and the internal memory system has been tested. The battery compartment for the 4x AA batteries is clean and free of corrosion. The protective lens barrier operates smoothly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eSpecialist Note\u003c\/b\u003e \"The RDC-300 is a rare beast in the wild. What I love about this S\/N: 101583 is its sheer personality; it feels like a piece of high-tech spy gear from a 90s movie. The image quality has a beautiful, grainy digital soul that works incredibly well for artistic 'glitch' or nostalgic photography. It’s also surprisingly ergonomic—the way it fits in the palm is better than many modern compacts. It’s a rugged, honest piece of Japanese engineering that proves digital photography was cool long before the megapixels started climbing. For a collector, this is a must-have piece of Ricoh's heritage.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\"\u003eRicoh RDC-300 Digital Camera (S\/N: 101583)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,1,0\"\u003eOriginal Ricoh Carrying Case\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,2,0\"\u003eWrist Strap\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,3,0\"\u003e4x AA Batteries (New\/Installed)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,0,0\"\u003eCamera Type: Digital Compact Camera\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,1,0\"\u003eSensor: 1\/4\" 350,000 Pixel CCD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,2,0\"\u003eLens: 4mm f\/3.8 (38mm equivalent)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,3,0\"\u003eMemory: 4MB Internal (Supports SmartMedia for external)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,4,0\"\u003eResolution: 640 x 480 (VGA)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,5,0\"\u003eCategory: 1.
