“The Ricoh WG-4 GPS is toughened and waterproof camera to take on the likes of the Canon PowerShot D30, Nikon Coolpix AW120, Olympus Tough TG-3 and Panasonic Lumix FT5. It’s a direct replacement for last year’s WG-3 GPS from Pentax, now rebranded by parent company Ricoh. The WG-4 GPS is a certainly tough cookie, being shockproof from heights up to 2.0 metres, freezeproof down to -10 degrees, waterproof to a depth of 14m and able to withstand up to 100kg of crushing force. Inside is a back-illuminated 16.0 megapixel CMOS sensor capable of a sensitivity range of ISO125-6400 and you get Full HD video capture as well. This is mated to a 4x optical zoom lens sporting a focal length range of 25-100mm (in 35mm terms) and a maximum aperture of f/2.0. Sensor-shift Shake reduction is also employed to help tame the effects of camera shake. As its name suggests, the WG-4 GPS is also equipped with GPS location mapping to geolocate your images and can be had for £309.99/$329.95/€329.00. Alternatively the standard Ricoh WG-4 makes do without GPS, bringing the price down to around £279.99/$279.95/€279.00.”
