LONDON, 22 February 2019 －RICOH COMPANY, LTD. and RICOH IMAGING EUROPE,S.A.S. are pleased to announce the launch of the RICOH WG-6. The top-of-the-range model in the heavy-duty RICOH WG series, this digital compact camera provides a host of newly designed features, including a multi-application Ring Light unit — convenient in close-up shooting — and 4K-resolution movie recording, in the most durable waterproof body in WG- series history. It features a 20-megapixel, 1/2.3-inch sensor and a range of tough guy credentials, including 20-metre waterproofing, plus the promise of being crushproof, dustproof and freezeproof. It also has a unique LED ring around the lens for macro shooting. Approximate times for continuous use when the battery is fully charged (These times vary depending on the room temperature and other factors when using the camera.) Still image quality from the Olympus TG-6 is better than what you’ll get from WG-6, although having the ring lights is an advantage, provided you don’t mind the small file size. Moreover, its dedicated macro mode is quite good, with impressive color reproduction. In good light, the WG-6 can hold its own, but if you don’t want to compromise too much on image quality, you might be better off spending a little extra on the Olympus TG-6 if it’s a rugged camera you’re after.
