Manual of product WG-50
Editorial note
The Ricoh WG-50 is a compact camera that stands out for its exceptional image quality, thanks to a 16 MP sensor and a maximum resolution of 4608 x 3456 pixels. This allows for capturing every detail with precision, making this device ideal for quality-conscious photographers. Its battery life, which can reach 300 shots, is an additional asset, providing the ability to take numerous photos without interruption during outings. Designed for outdoor use, the WG-50 is weather-resistant, dustproof, and shockproof, ensuring its reliability in challenging conditions. Additionally, the 5x optical zoom and various focus modes, including macro and super macro options, provide great flexibility for capturing diverse subjects. However, the camera has some drawbacks. The 2.7-inch screen, while of good quality, is relatively small, which can make composing and viewing images less comfortable. The lack of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity limits photo sharing options, which can be a disadvantage for users wanting to easily transfer their files. Moreover, manual focus can be a hindrance for those seeking a quick and intuitive photography experience, especially in situations where time is of the essence. Finally, the internal memory of only 68 MB is insufficient for storing many photos, thus requiring the use of external memory cards for optimal use. In summary, the Ricoh WG-50 offers excellent image quality and appreciated robustness, but certain aspects like screen size and lack of wireless connectivity may affect the overall user experience.Score details
