This shot isn’t as sharp as it could be, suffering from some camera shake. Photo taken with a Ricoh WG-50 at ISO 125 at ¹⁄₄₅ sec at f/3.5.

In this low-light shot of part of the harbor of Copenhagen at night you can see some very aggressive noise suppression. Photo taken with a Ricoh WG-50 at ISO 6400 at ¹⁄₂₀ sec at f/3.5.

A shot taken while kayaking along the face of a glacier in Svalbard. Photo taken with a Ricoh WG-50 at ISO 125 at ¹⁄₁₂₅₀ sec at f/4.2.

Photo taken with a Ricoh WG-50 at ISO 3200 at ¹⁄₅₀ sec at f/3.8.

With the combination of low light and similar tones, this is a good example the extraordinary amount of noise reduction that’s applied to high-ISO images. It’s quite overpowering in this shot and well beyond what I’d normally consider usable. Photo taken with a Ricoh WG-50 at ISO 1600 at ¹⁄₂₅ sec at f/3.5.

This shot is useful to test two things: the sharpness at the corners and the amount, if any, of chromatic aberration. Photo taken with a Ricoh WG-50 at ISO 125 at ¹⁄₂₀₀ sec at f/4.2.

With its many high-contrast edges, ths shot is a good test of both sharpness and chromatic aberration at the corners. You can see it’s a bit soft at the corners and there’s some chromatic aberration (purple fringing), although neither is overpowering. Photo taken with a Ricoh WG-50 at ISO 125 at ¹⁄₄₀₀ sec at f/4.2.

With a top shutter speed of 1/4000, there’s plenty of room to move for very bright scenes in sunlight and snow and ice. Photo taken with a Ricoh WG-50 at ISO 125 at ¹⁄₁₅₀₀ sec at f/4.2.

Another example of the very high amount of noise reduction that’s applied in camera to the JPGs at high ISOs. Photo taken with a Ricoh WG-50 at ISO 1600 at ¹⁄₂₀ sec at f/3.5.

In macro mode the usable image size drops down to 2MP and the aspect ratio switches to 16:9. Photo taken with a Ricoh WG-50 at ISO 800 at ¹⁄₁₂₅ sec at f/3.8.
