Questions and answers

Is the WG-8 worth it over a phone?
If you shoot in water, sand or on rocky ground, yes. A phone is not waterproof to 20 m or shockproof from 2.1 m, and the ring light makes 1 cm macro shots easy. For dry everyday photos, a phone will usually beat its small sensor.
How does it compare with the WG-7 or TG-7?
The WG-8 adds 4K video and a 20 MP sensor over older WG models. Against the Olympus TG-7 it trades the brighter f/2.0 lens and RAW support for a lower price and the same 20 m depth rating.
Does it shoot RAW?
No. The WG-8 records JPEG only, so plan on in-camera processing or editing JPEGs.
What is in the box?
The camera, a D-B110 battery and an O-ST104 strap. You need to supply your own SD card, since internal storage is only 27 MB.
Can I use it as a webcam?
Yes. Set it to UVC mode and connect the included USB cable to a computer for Full HD streaming at 30 fps.
When is it cheapest?
The best new price was $405 at Hard to Find Camera Store as of November 4, 2026. Rugged compacts tend to dip around holiday sales and when a successor is announced.
