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.
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.
