The WG-80 is a new version of the rugged and waterproof budget level compact cameras from Ricoh (Pentax). It was released in May 2022. Besides a different body design it features more powerful and adjustable LED macro lights. Other than that the technical data are the same as for the WG-70.
It can operate in temperatures down to minus 10 °C although battery capacity drops with ambient temperature, reducing the number of pictures that can be taken on a single charge.
The WG-80 features a 5X optical zoom starting from wide-angle of 28mm (35mm full frame equivalent), and a 16 mega pixel back-illuminated CMOS sensor.
The WG-80 is available in two color variants: orange and black.
The lauch price was US $329.-
