Make every adventure memorable with the Ricoh WG-6 Digital Camera, a robust and versatile device designed to withstand the most challenging environments. This all-weather, extreme compact camera is an ideal companion for outdoor enthusiasts and professionals working in demanding conditions such as construction sites and civil engineering projects. The Ricoh WG-6, the most rugged model in the WG series, boasts an impressive body design that is waterproof up to 20m (65ft), shockproof from a height of 2.1m (6ft), freezeproof down to -10&#189;J (14F), and crushproof up to 100 kgf (22lb). Available in vibrant orange or sleek black, this camera is not only tough but also stylish.Equipped with approximately 20 effective megapixels and a 5x optical zoom covering a 28mm - 140mm range, the WG-6 delivers superior camera performance. Its high-performance lens and back-illuminated CMOS sensor work together to produce clear, low-noise images with a wide dynamic range. An optional wide conversion lens is also available for those seeking to expand their photographic horizons.The WG-6's multifunctional LED Ring Light, which surrounds the lens, has been enhanced with 6 variable brightness LEDs, making it perfect for capturing stunning food and portrait images. The LED brightness can be adjusted in 10 increments, offering flexibility for various shooting conditions.Designed for easy operation even in harsh conditions, the WG-6 features a rugged exterior and an ADJ button for instant access to frequently used camera functions. The raised contours of the four-way controller make it easy to operate, even when wearing gloves. The WG-6 is also suitable for business and industrial uses, thanks to its chemical resistance to ethanol disinfection, sodium hypochlorite disinfection, and chloride dioxide. This makes it an ideal choice for use at construction sites and other professional settings.Capture high-quality 4K videos at 30fps with the WG-6's advanced video capture feature. The underwater video mode is optimized for subsurface colors, and the Electronic Gimbal (Movie SR+) reduces shake for smoother footage. Stay on track with the WG-6's high-accuracy GPS system, which collects precise location information and corresponds to the latest satellite navigation augmentation system (SBAS). With quick activation and a dedicated GPS button, you can easily record location information in your images.In summary, the Ricoh WG-6 Digital Camera is a rugged, reliable, and feature-rich device that is ready to capture your adventures in any environment.

It's ok. Hard to use when snorkeling. I couldn't see the screen so I did a lot of guessing. I hope to try it out in a pool soon and I have night hopes it will be a better tool than it is in the ocean.

It's okay, hope it works better in a pool

This camera has some serious limitations.  There is no way to set the exposure time, so it's virtually useless for fast-moving subjects.  Colors, at least on the default settings, are not very vivid.  The loss of detail in pictures taken in low light (even with the flash) is extreme.  Overall, focus seems on the soft side.  Exposure compensation is buried in the menus, so adjusting it quickly is not possible.

On the other hand, the ability to focus at very close distances is quite good.  The built-in GPS and compass are very nice to have.  The build quality seems very solid.

I have not used any of the video functions, so I cannot speak to them.  I bought this camera primarily to take underwater pictures while snorkeling.  For me, its ultimate value will be if it succeeds at this task.  For any other task, I believe there are better choices at lower prices.

Underwater camera

Great camera.  Very pleased with build quality and photo quality

Great camera

I really like this camera.  It's so easy to use and takes great photos.  I'm very happy with this purchase.

Above average point and shoot camera

Came exactly as described.   I purchased in order to not take my more expensive dslrs to sandy and wet places, beaches etc.  it does not shoot in RAW but I knew that before purchasing.  I also wanted to use it for snorkeling and it was great for that as well as under water fun pool shots.  Nice dry shots as well  my only regret is there is no manual other than on line?.I prefer tangible manuals and at 130 pages it will cost a lot of ink to print
