Great camera! best of cameras

Takes great pictures. Use it in the pool or on the beach without risk of damage. Images are sharp and clear even when zoomed in.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Speed

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Underexposure/Poor Battery Performance

Most images are underexposed. Everything should be brighter and richer in contrast (even at maximum saturation and contrast). The battery needs to be charged after each walk and it takes quite a long time to charge.

Pros
  • Excellent Overall Performance
Cons
  • Contact Seller

Screen has stopped working

Screen has stopped working after 5 uses - looks like moisture got in behind the screen and now the screen doesn't work at all. The chamber was completely sealed and was not even submerged in water. I bought this to replace a Pentax camera that I've been using on my kayak trips for years. As I did not use it in 2020 due to the pandemic, it is out of warranty. Very disappointed in the product for the price.

Pros
  • Best in its niche
Cons
  • Clarity

I love Ricoh rugged cameras

As a longtime Pentax fan (I've lost count of how many I've had), I love the color quality and durability. I started buying the WG series many years ago and keep updating it. I don't update them because they wear out (sell or give away), but because newer models have new features, improved looks, and more durable construction. This one goes deeper, withstands harder drops and has better playback than previous models. I keep one in my computer bag so I can take pictures if I see anything…

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Not sure
