Description of 📷 Ricoh WG-70 Black Waterproof Digital Camera 16MP with Eye-Catching Orange Accents

THE ALL-WEATHER ADVENTURE CAMERA: A rugged chassis you can rely on in the harshest conditions. HIGH RESOLUTION WITH ALL THE MUST-HAVE FEATURES: With a high-performance image processing engine and a back-illuminated CMOS sensor boasting high optical efficiency and an effective 16 megapixel, the WG-70 takes low-noise photos with a wide dynamic range that look beautiful even as prints. WATERPROOF 14M: With features that include uncompromising waterproofing - good for 2 hours of continuous use at a depth of 14 meters. UNDERWATER MODE: This mode uses white balance optimized for underwater photos, making colors appear more natural by adding reds that tend to get lost in photos taken under water. FULL HD VIDEO: While the camera can of course record Full HD (16:9) video at 30 fps, it also offers a High Speed Movie mode for recording slow-motion video and an Underwater Movie mode suited to underwater movie recording. Movie and Underwater Movie modes offer Movie SR (shake reduction), which can be used to reduce the effects of camera shake. DIGITAL MICROSCOPE MODE: The WG-70’s Digital Microscope mode makes it easy to take impressive macro photographs that capture details that cannot be resolved by the naked eye. The 6-LED Ring Light helps prevent blur by allowing faster shutter speeds. CHOOSE FROM 25 SHOOTING MODES: The camera offers settings suited to every subject, including an “Auto Picture” mode that automatically identifies the subject type and chooses the appropriate mode. CAMERA AT WORK: The WG-70 features a tough chassis, enhanced crushproofing, and an easy-to-use design that lets you shoot without taking off your gloves. The ring light can be used for construction-site photos that clearly show cracks in concrete and other fine details. OUTDOOR VIEW SETTING: Monitor brightness can be increased by up to 2 steps to make dark areas of the display easier to see in sunlight, or lowered by up to 2 steps to reduce glare for night photography. WHAT'S IN THE BOX: Includes Battery D-LI92, Power Adapter, USB Cable, Strap and Macro Stand O-MS1.

Doesn't take good photos

This camera takes the worst photos. I do not recommend this product. I know the Nikon is a bit more expensive, but I'd love to go that route. Disappointed with this purchase.

Pros
  • FULL HD VIDEO: While the camera can of course record Full HD (16:9) video at 30 frames per second, it also offers a high-speed video mode for slow-motion video recording and a matching underwater video mode. for underwater videos. The Video and Underwater Video modes have a Movie SR (Shake Reduction) mode that can be used to reduce the effects of camera shake.
Cons
  • Replacement Availability

Good replacement for my lost Pentax GPS model.

Although the Ricoh WG-70 is slightly smaller than my Pentax GPS model (which I lost but loved), the Ricoh WG-70 still feels like a clone replacement at a much lower price. Haven't tested it yet, but so far I'm satisfied.

Pros
  • CAMERA AT WORK: The WG-70 features a durable body, improved crush protection, and an easy-to-use design that lets you shoot without removing your gloves. Ring light can be used for photos of a construction site that clearly show cracks in the concrete and other fine details.
Cons
  • The list will be long.

The best waterproof camera I've ever had.

I tried this camera after being disappointed with many other well known brands. Outstanding resolution. The photos are great. I also like the fact that the lens is large, which makes wiping the water easier, especially on waterfalls. I just love it. 100% recommended!

Pros
  • ALL-WEATHER ADVENTURE CAMERA: Rugged body you can count on in the harshest environments.
Cons
  • Slightly torn

Macro Camera Replacement

I have to admit that I bought this as a potential replacement for my Nikon D-80 with ring flash for macro photography of teeth. It was waterproof. The good thing about dental photography. I thought it would be easier for staff to use. No, that is not so. The macro function is great. You can get really close, but it doesn't look like you can change aperture or shutter speed. Although I have to play more. Also, the management is not very good. The time will show. Nice little camera for the price.

Pros
  • HIGH RESOLUTION WITH ALL THE FEATURES YOU NEED. With a powerful image processor and a backlit CMOS sensor with high optical efficiency and an effective resolution of 16 megapixels, the WG-70 captures low-noise, wide dynamic range photos that look beautiful even in print.
Cons
  • Will be added later

Looks great, but that's about it.

The camera started normally. However, the image quality has deteriorated and it flickers even in daylight, causing the images to roll back. I have to turn the flash on and off manually. I contacted Revain but they said I was away for 30 days and referred me to an overseas number that would cost me more to call than buying a new camera. You have not provided an email address or any other way of contacting the seller or manufacturer. I may have just received a defective camera but the one I have…

Pros
  • PACKAGES: D-LI92 Battery, AC Adapter, USB Cable, O-MS1 Macro Strap and Stand
Cons
  • Obsolete Model

Cool little camera!

Great little camera! The picture quality is excellent, the color reproduction is excellent, the controls and menus are simple and intuitive. It has many "modes" and each one seems to do a better job than I would expect from a camera at this price point. Microscope mode is AMAZING and a lot of fun to experiment with. I've used it in bright sunshine, overcast days, snorkeling and even a few shallow dives and in all cases it has performed better than expected. I can't imagine a better camera for…

Pros
  • CAMERA IN USE: The WG-70 features a durable body, improved crush protection, and an easy-to-use design that lets you shoot without removing your gloves. Ring light can be used for photos of a construction site that clearly show cracks in the concrete and other fine details.
Cons
  • Unbelievable price
