This camera offers exceptional durability for outdoor adventures, being waterproof, shockproof, dustproof, crushproof, and resistant to extreme temperatures, while delivering high-quality 20MP images and 4K video with a 5x optical zoom and built-in LED ring light for enhanced low-light photography, plus advanced GPS capabilities and webcam support for versatile use.
All-Weather Travel Companion
Reliably capture scenes in extreme weather or rugged conditions with the green PENTAX WG-8 Digital Camera from Ricoh. Sporting the greatest operating depth of any WG series camera thus far, the WG-8 is submersible to depths up to 65.6' and IPX6 dustproof. It can withstand extreme temperatures as low as 14°F, and its user-friendly design and numerous convenient features allow easy camera operation. It has a built-in ring light, 5x optical zoom, 4K-resolution movie clips, and much more.
The WG-8 provides sharp 20MP images with low-noise up to a sensitivity of ISO 6400 by utilizing a back-illuminated CMOS image sensor. 4K-resolution movie recording in H.264 format is available, allowing you to capture high-quality extended movie clips at 30fps. In addition to Movie Shake Reduction mode, Movie SR+ mode generates shake-reduction comparable to using a gimbal.
The 5x optical zoom lens provides an angle of view of 5mm to 25mm, which is equivalent to a full-frame view of approximately 28mm to 140mm. A minimum focusing distance of 1cm allows for ultra-close macro photography.
Surrounding the lens barrel is a six-LED ring light, so you can capture clearer, sharper images in low-light conditions. The strength of the light emitted can be adjusted.
Waterproof and submersible to depths up to 65.6'
Shockproof against drops from heights up to 6.8'
Dustproof equivalence of IPX6
Resistant to temperatures as low as 14°F

The WG-8's GPS module automatically records position and travel log data onto captured images. Signals can be received from GLONASS and U.S. GPS satellites. GPS data, directional data and UTC can be imprinted on the lower right corner of an image.
Use the WG-8 as a web camera by switching to UVC mode, connecting it to a computer via USB cable, and then streaming Full HD video at 30fps.
A high-resolution 3" 1.04m-dot LCD monitor allows for wide-angle viewing. An antireflection coating on the monitor minimizes glare and allows easier viewing even in harsh sunlight. Additionally, the Outdoor View setting allows you to adjust the monitor's brightness for optimized visibility.
