Ricoh WG-50 Review

The Ricoh WG-50 updates the WG-30 (and WG-40 which was available in some markets), with a slightly improved specification, including improved waterproofing down to 14m, and increased the shockproof rating of 1.6m. The camera has a tough design and grip, being freezeproof and shockproof, but the camera does not feature GPS, nor does the camera feature Wi-Fi. The Ricoh WG-50 is available in black or orange and features a 16-megapixel BSI CMOS sensor, and FullHD video recording.

Features

Ricoh WG 50 Black (3)

The Ricoh WG-50 features a wide-angle 5x optical zoom lens equivalent to 28mm to 140mm in 35mm terms. The camera uses digital shake reduction rather than optical and has a built-in flash for low-light situations, as well as 6 LED macro lights around the lens for close-up photos. The camera comes with a macro ring to let you place the camera directly onto flat surfaces.

When shooting there is an Auto Picture mode which automatically selects the best camera settings for the detected scene. There are a number of other scene modes such as HDR, digital microscope, time-lapse and more. When you’ve finished shooting you can edit your pictures in playback using a range of filters.
