Now here's the first time that I've come across a barcode scanning digital camera, the Ricoh 500SE. Now while the Ricoh 500SE is not for us average consumers (come one, what would we EVER need a barcode scanner for?), it could be especially useful for retailers.
The Ricoh 500SE can support 1D barcodes and can scan these barcodes through its lens or the optional SE-4 laser scanning module. Aside from that, the Ricoh 500SE also has a built-in 802.11b/g wireless LAN and Bluetooth so you can transfer your images wirelessly to any compatible devices.
Another additional feature that I wish would be present to ALL future digital cameras, is that the Ricoh 500SE is shock and waterproof resistant. Now THAT's a pretty useful feature. If you can shell out $899 for a digital camera, the Ricoh 500SE is a pretty high end camera. It has been around since last year and was first marketed as the first GPS ready digital camera.
