Camera Overview — Ricoh G800

The Ricoh G800 is a rugged point-and-shoot camera built for demanding professional environments. Its weather-sealed body design makes it a practical choice for industries like construction, manufacturing, and public safety, where standard consumer cameras simply wouldn't survive day-to-day abuse. At the heart of the G800 is a 16MP, 1/2.3-inch sensor capable of producing images at a maximum resolution of 4608x3456 pixels.

The ISO range runs from 100 to 51200, giving shooters flexibility across a wide range of lighting conditions. When the light isn't ideal, the camera's Digital/Electronic image stabilization helps reduce blur in handheld shots. Autofocus is handled via contrast detection.

For storage, the G800 accepts SD, SDHC, and SDXC cards, and connectivity includes USB. Video capture tops out at 30fps, with supported resolutions including 1920x1080, 1280x720, and 640x480. Battery life is rated at approximately 400 shots per charge.

For professionals who need a camera that can handle rough conditions without sacrificing core imaging capability, the G800 presents a compelling, purpose-built option in the point-and-shoot segment.
