Ricoh Unmasked WG 30 and WG 30W Rugged Action Cameras

The action camera series of Ricoh has included two new rugged contenders. The WG 30 and WG 30W are the siblings with almost similar equipments and features. The action camera is the key forte of the Ricoh with the Pentax series and sustains almost negligible competition in the era. The alleged cameras differ with a feature of WIFI as the WG-30W possesses this feature and another one doesn’t.  Both the cameras are similar in looks with ultra rugged faces and vibrant colors. They are light weight, hugely equipped and capable to shoot under water and odd locations.

RICOH WG-30 and WG-30W cameras are teamed with 16 effective megapixels over which they can record full HD 1920x1080p resolution videos.

RICOH’s new WG siblings have the special powers to backup the snapping joy at -10 degree temperature. The waterproof nature helps them to hold the breath when treated in the worst manner. The waterproof ability can face the underwater imaging upto the depth of 12 meters. Another knobby feature of this camera is its rigidness. You have to throw it from a height more than 1.5 meters to break the snapper.

The back illuminated CMOS sensor equipped in these cameras are one of the finest inventions to participate in boosting out the greatest picture quality. These sensors are crafted for the Ricoh’s WG series to support their extraordinary features for the production of crisp images with negligible blur and noise in low light scenes. The working sensitivity of these products ranges to ISO 6400. The self portrait assist can shoot pictures effortlessly while the other admirable elements include six macro lights for close up shooting, triple anti shake protection, etc. The smartness of Ricoh lies in the additional sensors for auto picture and to detect the smile, face and pet.

The rear of the snapper boasts a 2.7 inch LCD for its respective purpose. The lenses have the power to zoom upto 5X. The availability of these products is expected by the year end, where the WIFI version will go on sale in December 2014 and non WIFI one will reach the shores by the November 2014.
