    Disappointing

    Overall, the Ricoh WG-80 lacks quality in every aspect. Photo images: at 16MP I knew it was slightly lower than other similarly priced cameras, but the actual quality of the photos taken is sub 12MP. The images it was capturing were comparable to digital photos I was taking ten years ago. It just gets worse once you get to digital zoom. UI & Modes: the side scrolling mode selection gives you a sense of extended feature modes. In reality, they all lack appropriate functionality. It takes forever to get it to focus on closeup modes; I wasn't able to get any decent free-hand night shots, and sometimes auto mode would give the same shot taken a couple seconds apart with a red tint and others with a blue one. Last, the instruction manual does state that after a period of no use it goes into standby mode, but it's almost the same amount of time as turning it back on. Case/body: the only good comments are that the case does feel sturdy and provides a good grip, and that the battery life is also pretty good. I would only need to charge it after about four days of on and off use throughout each day. That being said, after the first day of being tossed into the sea, the front lense developed an outer ring outline. At first I thought it was water that had seeped in, but I think the water made the sealant stand out visually. Unfortunatelly, water did seep in. Even though I rinse with fresh water, after a few sea trips I could feel debris/salt under the power button and it became a hassle to turn it on/off. At that point water hadn't actually penetrated inside the camera, but about a about a month after purchase, the seal on the charging port failed completely. I let it dry and cleaned the ports, but the contact points were damaged and it was very difficult to charge after that. Last, as I was removing my SD card to start a claim, I saw that the seal around the battery compartment (there's one for the charging cable and another one for the battery/sd card) had also failed. In summary, I've purchased a few different waterproof cameras over the years. They've all been priced between 250 and 400 and would be considered good quality consumer cameras (not professional). This is not on par with any of them. If this is the intended quality of the images taken, then it's way over-priced even if disregarding the seal failures or waterproof feature. As a whole, there's just no quality built into this camera and I would definitely not recommend it to anyone.

    WG70 just with a higher price tag

    I had to search for a while to figure out what was different between the WG80 and WG70. I was wanting a better image sensor, or brighter screen, or larger screen but all we got was a slightly better right light around the lens for macro mode and “advanced functionality”. So if you can buy the WG70 for cheaper just get it. It’s the same camera.

Ricoh - GR IV Monochrome Camera - Black

Achieving the ultimate in monochrome expressionThe RICOH GR IV Monochrome is exclusively designed for monochrome photography. With the exceptional image quality, quick response, and outstanding portability that the GR series is known for, the GR IV Monochrome incorporates a monochrome-dedicated image sensor. By eliminating the color filter used to acquire color information, as well as the interpolation process required to generate color images, the camera can fully draw out the capabilities of the high-performance GR lens, delivering refined rendering and rich tonal gradation.The built-in red filter enables more distinctive monochrome photography, and new Image Control options - dedicated to monochrome imaging - provide deep and diverse monochrome expressions.Language InformationThe GR IV Monochrome will launch with regional language support in English, Spanish, and French.Monochrome Image Sensor - Faithful light capture with Monochrome-dedicated CMOS image sensorWith the pursuit of the ultimate monochrome expression, the camera incorporates a monochrome-dedicated APS-C CMOS image sensor. The brightness information acquired by each pixel is applied directly to images without interpolation processing. This achieves nuanced detail, high resolution, and exceptional reproduction of tones for outstanding monochrome rendering.Monochrome Image Processing - GR ENGINE 7To maximize the performance of the monochrome-dedicated image sensor, a new image- processing engine was developed. It performs none of the interpolation processing that is indispensable in color image sensors, allowing it to make full use of the brightness information captured by each pixel. This delivers high-definition and nuanced detail as well as rich tonal depth.Monochrome Design - Unified overall color and texture evokes the world of black-and-white photographyThe magnesium-alloy body, as well as the shutter release button and ring cap, are finished in matte black, with subdued sheen, deep texture, and a soft tactile feel. The semi-gloss black front GR logo, the white illumination of the power button, and other design details express the monochrome worldview throughout the camera.Built-in Red Filter - Contrast control with built-in Red FilterRed filters can produce images with strong visual impact, for example, by darkening the tones of a blue sky to enhance contrast with clouds, or by rendering red subjects brighter to make them stand out more clearly. A red filter incorporated within the lens unit enables expanded image expression through the use of color even in monochrome photography. Intuitive User Interface - An Intuitive Gateway to MonochromeFunctions you will want to use most in monochrome shooting are placed where they can be accessed most directly and comfortably. The Fn button is assigned to switching the red filter on and off. The down button of the direct keys is assigned to Image Control which unlocks a wide range of monochrome renderings.High Image QualityWhen every ray of light is captured to its limit, a compelling drama emerges. The imaging system is engineered exclusively for monochrome photography.Optics That Truly Shine in Monochrome F2.8 GR LensThe camera features the 18.3mm (28mm in 35mm equivalent focal length) F2.8 GR lens. While inheriting the established design philosophy and incorporating successive advances in optical technology, the lens employs a 5-group 7-element construction, with a large, aspherical high-precision molded glass lens added as the final lens. To fully realize the performance of this lens, the imaging system has been optimized specifically for the monochrome-dedicated GR. The monochrome-dedicated image sensor is not equipped with a color filter and performs no interpolation processing, enabling the GR lens's outstanding optical performance to be captured in its entirety. The result is exceptional resolution extending to the edges of the frame, rich gradation, and low distortion. The true potential of the GR lens is fully revealed in monochrome.Faithful Light Capture - Monochrome-Dedicated CMOS Image SensorTo pursue the highest level of monochrome expression, a dedicated image sensor was developed. It does not use a color filter to acquire color information; instead, each pixel captures the brightness information of the subject and directly translates it into a monochrome image.

  • How do you transfer pictures to your phone?

    Saved to card, insert to computer, email to self, open on phone, save to phone. Or, plug camera directly into USB port on computer and save, then transfer to phone via email. my camera was the WG-4 that I have had for 8 years and it finally stopped being able to use flash.
