Photography Skillset

Point and shoot - If you're not quite the expert yet or you're just getting started in the world of photography, the Ricoh WG-50 will satisfy your needs.

Video skill level

Casual videos - If the technicalities involved in altering video settings are not a priority, then this Ricoh device is a very good option!

Even though recording videos is a passion, you're not necessarily looking to go pro. You're content with making tweaks to a couple of settings to suit the shot you're about to take. The WG-50 is very accessible which makes it suitable for this.

When you've got deep theoretical and practical knowledge about what makes a great video clip, there's a minimum level - and camera - you'll need to operate with. This camera from Ricoh with its array of settings works really well for those who are meticulous about what they produce each time they shout action!

Video Scenarios

For those special occasions, this Ricoh camera is a great companion as you traverse the floor. It comes with an Image Stabilizer which helps maintain a steady shot while recording.

Its always great to capture moments of delight at home or while spending time with family and friends on an outing. For this, the Ricoh WG-50 is a great companion to have.

For the YouTubers - This is a good choice for your video recordings because in addition to it's excellent Image Sensor Size (6.17 x 4.55 mm mm), it comes with an in-built image stablizer that ensures your shots remain steady.

Capture the thrills - Your escapades can be captured in multiple angles you would have skipped on with delicate cameras. This camera from Ricoh has a good level of impact and splash protection for your needs.

Other Video needs

Breathtaking transitions such as rolling clouds or city lights can captured as a time-lapse using the Ricoh's in-built intervalometer

Photo Scenarios

As you go about your business each day, there are moments or situations that come up that you'll want to capture on camera. The Ricoh WG-50 makes for a great partner for taking those everyday shots, whether planned or spontaneous. 

While taking those action shots during the day's event, you'll be aiming to keep your subject matter in sharp focus while they're in motion. The Auto Focus Tracking capability that comes with this camera helps with this.

Whether it's golf or tennis and everything in-between, the Tracking Focus capability in this camera allows you maintain your subject as the centre of attention even while in motion. It's Continuous Shooting Mode also helps take multiple shots in a couple of seconds allowing you assess a set of options you can pick from.

Whether its for living or non-living things, using the Ricoh WG-50 for aquatic photos is a treat.

Sometimes while on sightseeing or on a tour, you can only observe things from a distance. Which is why the zoom capability on this camera comes in handy in that situation.

When taking photos of the beautiful creatures of the wild, you'll need to have Tracking Focus mode activated so as not to miss any great moments while they are active in their habitat. Burst shots help as well, which this camera happens to have making it a very good option for your needs.

Composing photographs of landscapes is subject to the lighting conditions that you're faced with. The 6.17 x 4.55 mm(mm) Image Sensor Size on this model play a big role in this. Also, the Ricoh WG-50 has a variety of scene modes which can be selected to suit the shot you're preparing to take.

Other considerations

After investing in an electronic kit of this nature, water resistance will come to mind each time you take it outdoors. Good news is that this model from Ricoh can handle splashes of water with no issues.

Underwater photography is beautiful and you'll want a camera able to handle such wet conditions. Good thing the Ricoh WG-50 is waterproof up to a depth of 14 m metres.

The outdoors can get quite sandy depending on the environment you'll be taking pictures in. Which is why a camera like this is what you'll need as its been fully certified as dust-proof.

Style

When you want to stand out from the crowd, the WG-50 uses bright colours and funky designs to turn heads. This is not your average camera.

The WG-50 comes in an unconventional package that stands out from the typical greys and blacks that are common with such devices.

It looks simple, capable and doesn't stand out in any particular way.
