Product details

Waterproof, shockproof, frost-resistant, 16 MP CMOS sensor with BSI technology – these are the features that define the latest model of the rugged RICOH WG series. The RICOH WG series is known for its durability, and the WG-70 is no exception, as it can withstand water, dirt, sand, or grime. The casing is waterproof up to a depth of 14 meters for up to 2 hours, dustproof, pressure-resistant up to 100 kg, shockproof from a height of up to 1.6 meters, and frost-resistant down to minus 10°C. This makes the WG-70 the ultimate camera for any adventure and a unique alternative when photo equipment or smartphones need to be well protected and stored.

But within the rugged exterior of the WG-70 lies a highly sensitive and technically sophisticated interior. The centerpiece is the 16-megapixel CMOS sensor with "Backside Illumination" technology. The rear-illuminated sensor ensures high sensitivity up to ISO 6400 with low noise levels and allows for quick reading of the image signal. Additionally, the camera is equipped with the latest image processors to capture sharp, noise-free images with high brilliance. Notably, the "Handheld Night Snap" mode generates a shake-free shot from multiple individual images.

Rank 7 out of 7Stiftung Warentest7 DigitalkamerasReleaseAugust 2020

Still acceptable outdoor camera (shockproof, dustproof and waterproof), for automatic pictures. With small zoom. In low light only moderate, basic hand movements awkward. Positive: fast camera. Camera overall just about satisfactory.
