Re: Disappointingly capable

Thanks for your encouraging reply.

At this point the WG-5 GPS remains available at B&H, which is a good sign.

It looks like Ricoh/Pentax is really minimizing its footprint in the compact camera area, concentrating more on the GR and the larger ILCs.  The industry trend is this way anyway.  Sales of compacts must really not be good, with all the smartphone competition.

I was surprised to find the WG-5 still available.

The camera is still working fine, but I don't use it much now that I am retired.  I used the macro shooting capability a lot in my job.
