Ricoh G700SE with Pentax WG-3 GPS Overview


Let's compare Pentax WG-3 GPS with Ricoh G700SE. These models are included in the Waterproof cameras. Pentax WG-3 GPS was released in 2013, and Ricoh G700SE in 2010. WG-3 GPS is newer, which is a plus. G700SE 3 years older. However 3 years, the difference is not so bad.
The sensor resolution of WG-3 GPS is greater than that of G700SE. However, the difference of 4 MP is not very significant. The more megapixels the camera has, the more detailed and clear the picture will be. The number of megapixels will also affect the maximum size of the photos, which then can be printed without loss of quality.
At the first camera (WG-3 GPS), the minimum ISO value is lower, which gives more opportunities for shooting in daylight. A larger maximum ISO allows you to take good pictures in the dark. At Pentax WG-3 GPS, the maximum ISO is greater by 3200. WG-3 GPS has image stabilization(Sensor-shift), G700SE doesn’t, it is a big minus. Both cameras feature a 3-inch fixed screen.
