A limited edition of the Ricoh GR Digital has been released to commemorate the first anniversary of the camera.

Ricoh's flagship digital compact camera -- the GR Digital -- turns one year old this month, and to celebrate the company has launched a special limited edition model.

Japanese designer Katsuya Terada created illustrations of gold angels and clouds on a blue sky to turn the ordinary black body of the unit into a work of art. The comic designer of Hellboy, Terada also worked on the Iron Man comic as well as the animated Japanese film Blood: The Last Vampire.

A limited amount of 1,000 cameras have been manufactured for distribution worldwide.

At AU$1,299, the Katsuya Terada-designed GR Digital retails for AU$300 more than the original model. It is available exclusively from authorised GR Digital stockists. You can contact Ricoh via their Web site for sales enquiries.

      The J100 is definitely a point-and-shoot — because you can't do anything else with it.

    • Olympus E-520

      The E-520 adds an appealing range of features to the existing Olympus line-up of dSLRs, but mostly for the first-time buyer. Apart from image stabilisation built into the body and the ability to use older lenses on the Four Thirds system, there is not much that really sets the E-520 apart from other cameras in its class.

    • Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T700

      Sony's T700 is a winner in the looks department, but beneath the brushed metal exterior lies a clever way to share photos. With 4GB of internal memory and a 3.5-inch LCD touchscreen, the T700 is a good, if slightly expensive camera, especially given that image quality isn't always up to scratch.

      Sony's entry-level Cyber-shot DSC-W110 includes face detection, noise reduction and high ISO sensitivity up to ISO 3200.

      It may not be brimming with new features and the controls are all over the shop, but the Fujifilm FinePix F60fd looks great and so do the pictures. Capable automatic settings make this a true point-and-shoot, with clever face detection helping it stand out from the crowd. We just wish it weren't so confusing.
