Ricoh WG-M1 Waterproof Action Camera
Thursday, September 11, 2014 at 12:00AM 
The soon to be released Richo WG-M1 certainly changes the game when it comes to the look of waterproof action cams.
The new camera is waterproof to 32.8 feet (10 meters) without the need for an external housing; it's dust proof, cold proof to 14°F (-10°C), and protected against drops from heights of 6.6 feet (2 meters). Its f/2.8 lens captures images with a 160° field of view—about the same as a 17mm lens on a full-frame camera—but it does narrow to 135° when recording video to allow for electronic shake reduction.
The video is recorded in up to 1080p30 quality with H.264 compression; 60fps is an option at 720p, and it can be set as high as 120fps when shooting standard definition. Still images are captured at 14 megapixels. There's an integrated stereo mic, integrated Wi-Fi, and there's a 1.5-inch LCD built into the body.
The new camera will be available October 10th and will be priced at $299.
