The Ricoh WG-80 is a rugged compact camera built to survive water, dust, shock and cold. It shoots 16MP stills and Full HD video through a 5x optical zoom (28-140mm equivalent) and adds a ring of six LED macro lights around the lens for close-up work. It has no Wi-Fi, no stabilization and no viewfinder, so it is a purpose-built tool rather than an all-round camera. Buyers who want a pocket camera for snorkeling, hiking or job sites get the toughness; anyone wanting connectivity or low-light quality should look at a tougher phone or a larger-sensor compact.

Owners treat the WG-80 as a tough point-and-shoot that keeps working where phones fail. They like the macro ring light and the rugged body, and accept the modest image quality as the trade-off.
