Taking the wraps off a new durable point and shoot, Ricoh Imaging debuted the WG-30W. Adding to its WG line of waterproof toughcams, the WG-30W has everything its predecessors have to offer, but with WiFi.

If you're liable to sit on your point and shoot, the WG-30 can withstand 220 pounds of crush force. Under the hood, you'll find a 16.1-megapixel CMOS sensor. Though there are very few specifics out there, Ricoh does claim to have given the WG-30 full HD recording at 30 frames per second.
The control scheme looks very familiar.
For those interested, the WG-30 hits shelves in December 2014 for $299.95 in two variants: Carbon Grey and Flaming Orange.
