LCD and Viewfinder
Ricoh WG-M1 has a Fixed Type 1.5″ LCD screen with a resolution of 115k dots. At only 1.5″, the screen is on the smaller side and 115kdot resolution is lower than most of the recent models in this class.
WG-M1 doesn't have a viewfinder and no option for external viewfinder. Lack of a viewfinder can be problematic especially under strong light where visibility of LCD screens goes down dramatically. If you need a Compact camera with a built-in viewfinder in a similar price range, consider Nikon Coolpix P7800 (Compare) or Fujifilm X30 (Compare).
