Although bit smaller than my Pentax GPS model (which I lost, but loved) , the Ricoh WG-70 so far appears to be a clone replacement at much less the cost. Haven’t put it through the test of abuse yet but I am satisfied so far.

This is a great little camera! Picture quality is excellent, color consistency is excellent, controls and menus are easy and intuitive. It has lots of “modes” and they each seem to do their job better than I would expect for a camera at this price point. The microscope mode is AMAZING and lots of fun to experiment with. I have used it in bright sun, on cloudy days, while snorkeling, and I’ve even taken it on a couple shallow scuba dives and it has performed better than expected on all occasions. I can not imagine a better camera for the price. I included a couple microscope photos of a serrated knife edge and the foil of an electric shaver.

I tried this camera after many other famous brands disappointed me. Great resolution. Photos are great. I also the fact that the lens is big, which means it’s easier to wipe the water, specially in water falls. I simply love it. Recommended 100%!

I love this camera. I specialize in close-up photography, and most of the pictures I have taken have been on the beach of animals or their remains. I take photos with the camera slightly under the water or above it where it gets splashed. (I do not dive with it.) I end up with tons of sand on it and have dropped it often. I have seen no decline in the quality of the photos from this rugged treatment.I can get so close that the lens “cap” touches the subject! The quality of the detail from being so close is amazing. I often say, “I had no idea they looked like that!” The camera reveals what would otherwise be invisible to me. My more expensive Sony point-and-shoot cannot get nearly as close and stay in focus.I attached a photo of the bottom side of a purple sea urchin. I have other photos that are even closer, but posted this one so that the viewer can more easily tell what it is.The camera has lots of features for those who prefer more than an Auto setting. For those who don’t, just put it on Auto and point-and-shoot. Another big plus is that the battery lasts a long time relative to other cameras I have.The weaknesses are that the zoom is not particularly good. The battery cover and charging port are not easily opened, which might be because it helps keep it water proof. The screen has scratches and marks—given how I bang it around that isn’t a surprise. I think adding a screen protector would be a smart move.Overall, it’s a great camera, with a price considerably less than other good cameras of a similar type. It can handle water, sand, dirt, dropping, and generally treated badly, as I often do, without a decline in quality.

So I bought a Ricoh a few years ago to replace my Pentax Optio. THEN, I bought this Ricoh to replace my older Ricoh, which was a trooper and went through a lot with me and my kayak for a few years until it recently gave up the camera ghost. I looked around for other options but kept coming back to Ricoh because it is durable and waterproof, and affordable. So far so good. No problems and quality snaps.

Takes great pictures and the auto focus was superb. We used this on our recent vacation and took it on a nature walk. This is where the Zoom features and the Image Stabilization came in handy. We were able to take pictures that we might not have been able to take otherwise. Would definitely recommend.
