Olympus Tough TG-6 with Ricoh WG-4 Overview


Let's compare Ricoh WG-4 with Olympus Tough TG-6. These models are included in the Waterproof cameras. Ricoh WG-4 was released in 2014, and Olympus TG-6 in 2019. Tough TG-6 is newer, which is a plus. WG-4 5 years older.
The sensor resolution of WG-4 is greater than that of Tough TG-6. 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-4), 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 Olympus TG-6, the maximum ISO is greater by 6400. Both cameras have Sensor-shift image stabilization. Both cameras feature a 3-inch fixed screen.
Burst mode, also called continuous shooting mode, sports mode or continuous high speed mode, is a shooting mode in still cameras. Ricoh WG-4 has 20.0 fps continuous shooting. Ricoh WG-4 has 20.0 fps continuous shooting.
