Ricoh G700SE with Ricoh WG-4 Overview


Let's compare WG-4 with G700SE. Both cameras produced Ricoh. These models are included in the Waterproof cameras. Ricoh WG-4 was released in 2014, and Ricoh G700SE in 2010. WG-4 is newer, which is a plus. G700SE 4 years older. 4 years, this is a pretty big age difference.
The sensor resolution of WG-4 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-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 Ricoh WG-4, the maximum ISO is greater by 3200. WG-4 has image stabilization(Sensor-shift), G700SE doesn’t, it is a big minus. 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 n/a fps continuous shooting.
