Our take on the PENTAX Ricoh WG-8 Digital Camera (Green)

The Pentax Ricoh WG-8 is a rugged compact camera built for harsh conditions. It is waterproof to 20 m, survives 2.1 m drops, resists crushing and dust, and works down to -10°C. A 20MP BSI CMOS sensor, 5x 28-140mm zoom and a six-LED ring light around the lens make it strong for macro and underwater shooting. It also records 4K video and can work as a webcam. Against rivals like the Olympus Tough TG-7, it goes deeper and colder, but its small sensor and modest low-light performance trail larger cameras.

What reviewers say

Owners treat the WG-8 as a dependable rough-use camera that keeps shooting where phones fail. They like the ring light for macro and the deep waterproof rating, but note soft images in low light and a chunky body.

What people mention
  • BuildPraisedOwners say it takes knocks, sand and salt water without trouble.
  • Ring lightPraisedThe six-LED ring light is called a real help for macro and underwater close-ups.
  • Low-light image qualityCriticisedReviewers find images soft and noisy in dim conditions because of the small sensor.
  • Size and weightMixedSome find the body chunky for a compact, though others see it as part of the toughness.
  • BatteryCriticisedUsing the ring light and GPS shortens battery life noticeably.

About the PENTAX Ricoh WG-8 Digital Camera (Green)
