i read all your newsletters and really enjoy your research on the equipment you encounter. however, my question is for a brand and model i've seen nothing on and happen to own. it is a brand new camera that i actually have not even used as yet--still a little intimidated by digitals-- it's a ricoh rdc-5000 2.3 mp. can you enlighten as to how performs and even compares to some of the ones you've already research. thank you for your help in advance of anything you can tell me about my camera.
