IS IT STILL OR VIDEO?Look-alike digital cameras abound, but the RDC-2 from Ricoh (800 225-1899) is in a class by itself. It's a bit of a cross between a still and a video camera, offering single-shot mode continuous shooting at one frame per second. It also records sound. A 768-by-576 pixel sensor yields high-resolution images, and an optional color LCD doubles as a viewfinder and playback display. One drawback: The pictures are in a proprietary format, so they can't be edited in programs such as Adobe PhotoShop unless first converted in Ricoh's Windows or Mac software. List prices range from $1,000 for the base version to $1,550 for a model with the display and five megabytes of storage.
