Camera Overview — Ricoh WG-30

The Ricoh WG-30 is a rugged point-and-shoot compact camera built around a 16MP, 1/2.3-inch sensor capable of capturing stills at a maximum resolution of 4608x3456 pixels. Designed with outdoor and adventure use in mind, the camera carries a Water Resistant bodyDesign rating, making it a solid companion for wet or unpredictable conditions. The camera supports an ISO range of 125 to 6400, giving shooters reasonable flexibility in varying light situations.

Video recording tops out at 1080p at 30fps, covering the bases for everyday footage without overcomplicating the feature set. A 2.7-inch TFT-LCD display with 230,000 dots handles composition and playback duties, while a 9-point contrast-detection autofocus system manages focus acquisition. Digital image stabilization is on board to help reduce the impact of camera shake during handheld shooting.

The WG-30 accepts SD, SDHC, and SDXC memory cards and connects via USB. A built-in flash provides supplemental lighting when needed. Weighing just 192g and measuring 122.5 × 61.5 × 29.5mm, the body remains genuinely pocketable for active use.

Burst mode is available at up to 1.1 frames per second. There is no Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connectivity.
