AF240Z. This is a useful little flashgun with bounce and auto.
An alternative would be the more expensive AF280T, but you wouldn't be able to use its TTL capability on the P30.

Thanks a lot.
Do you know if it could be used securely on my Ricoh Caplio GX also?

The Caplio has a very simple flash interface, with only one contact (plus earth).Thanks a lot.

I think there is a danger that the hotshoe could short-circuit the additional small contacts on the AF240. This might not cause damage, but it might prevent it from working properly.
In your place I would buy a very cheap auto flashgun for the Caplio, and reserve the AF240 for the P30.
Incidentally, you can get these on Ebay quite easily.
