The Ricoh WG-6 is a continuation of Ricoh's top models in their line of rugged weather-proof compact cameras. The WG-6 still has a 1/2.3" sensor like its predecessors, but the pixel count has been raised to 20 MP. The WG-6 is water-proof down to 20 meters (65.6 feet), where the predecessor WG-5 was rated to 16 meters (52.5 feet). The WG-6 also introduces 4K movie recording into th WG series of cameras.
The camera supports transfer of images to a smart phone through Toshiba's "FlashAir" WiFi enabled SD cards. New is also that the WG-6 optionally can imprint copyright (and other) data onto the image.
The built-in macro ring-light is powerful enough to double as lighting when recording movies. Furterhmore the LED's can be turned on and off individually, which can add shadow and depth when shooting macro. Refer the image above.
The optics is a 5x zoom lens from 5 to 25 mm (28 mm to 140 mm in full-frame equivalent terms). The lens opens up to F3.5 at the wide end and F5.5 at the long end.
A 0.8x wide angle attachment has also been announced. With this attachment the focal length becomes approximately 20 mm in full frame equivalent.
