RICOH WG-70 orange

Digitalkameras im Test: Die beste Kamera für Ihre Zwecke

On the face of it, the Ricoh WG-70 is a capable waterproof compact with respectable rugged credentials, but it continues a long line of very minor updates which means that little of significance has been added since 1080p HD video was introduced on 2017’s WG-50. With no Wi-fi, no GPS, nor ability to tag images with location data from your phone, a small, low resolution screen, pedestrian continuous shooting, limited video modes and lack of an optical zoom when recording, it feels more than a little tired and dated. If you like the design and the novel built-in LED macro light, the older, almost identical WG-60 or even WG-50 will cost you less. Alternatively, spend a bit more for a big boost in features with the Olympus TOUGH TG-6 or Nikon COOLPIX W300.

The Ricoh WG-70 is a new tough compact camera that's perfect for underwater photography down to 14 metres for up to two hours. It's also shockproof against a fall from a height of 1.6 meters and freeze-proof against temperatures as low as -10°C. The WG70 features a Digital Microscope mode that allows the subject to be greatly enlarged, plus six built-in Macro Lights to assist close-up shooting.
