Here we are comparing two cameras with different body types: Ricoh WG-8, which was introduced in June 2024 is a Waterproof camera with a 20.0MP 1/2.3-inch sensor whereas Panasonic ZS80, which was introduced in February 2018 is a Small Sensor Superzoom camera with a 20.0MP 1/2.3-inch sensor. As you can see, ZS80 is 6 years older than WG-8. Let's see if this age difference between two cameras makes a big difference.
Fortunately, you can't go wrong with any of these cameras as we rank them amongst Top 10 cameras in their classes. Ricoh WG-8 is ranked
#10 out of 83 Waterproof cameras with an overall score of 40 whereas Panasonic ZS80 is ranked
#6 out of 251 Small Sensor Superzoom cameras with an overall score of 57.
Here is a brief look at the main features of the Ricoh WG-8 and Panasonic ZS80 before getting into our more detailed comparison.
