The Ricoh WG-30 is a rugged, waterproof digital compact camera announced by Ricoh on October 8, 2014. It is the successor of the Ricoh WG-20. The main advance is the backside-illuminated sensor that also increases resolution from 14 to 16 megapixels compared to the previous model. The rugged metrics have also increased, with now 40 feet rather than 33 feet of underwater depth tolerance advertised. As in the previous model, the WG-30 is shockproof to 1.5m (5ft), crushproof to 100kg (220lb) of force, and coldproof to -10 degrees Celsius.
