Reviewers from trustedreviews have found the following***:
The Ricoh WG-6 makes some improvements on the previous model. The sensor has increased in resolution, but crucially remains at the same 1/2.3-inch size. The lens is not quite as wide (28mm vs 25mm), but the maximum aperture has reduced – now offering f/3.5-f/5.5. GPS is included for tracking where you’ve taken your shots, at least. Images and video are pleasant enough, with nicely saturated images.
