Ricoh WG-30w Review Posted

Several threads on our forum have mentioned The Camera Store's recent Youtube video, which lists the  Pentax K-S1 as the worst camera of 2014.  We are currently in the process of reviewing the K-S1, and while we might agree that it's the most pointless camera of 2014, it's certainly not the worst. 

Why?  Because Ricoh has outdone itself with the latest compact, the WG-30w.  To sum it up, the WG-30w is a sandbox: a rebadged Pentax Optio WG-2 from early 2012, but with half the LCD resolution, launched to showcase a singular new feature.  That feature is built-in Wi-Fi, which ironically works better than the O-FC1 FluCard in a Pentax DSLR.

How could things have gone so wrong?  Read on!
