The Pentax WG-3 looks to improve on the so-so image quality of last year's model, but without much success.
Having recently tried other <b>digital</b> <b>cameras</b> designed for those who photograph underwater I did not expect too many surprises from the <b>Pentax</b> <b>WG-3</b>. Here in the introduction I can say that I was wrong, very wrong, as it has two features I have never seen before.
The Pentax WG-3 is waterproof to 14m, shock resistant to 2m and freeze resistant to -10°C. Daniel Bell reviews.
Pentax WG-3 review, find out how the WG-3 stacks up against the competition in our real-world review with in-depth image quality comparisons.
The Pentax Optio WG-3 is a new shock, freeze, dust, water and crush proof compact camera. The Pentax WG3 offers 16 megapixels, a 3-inch LCD, a 4x zoom lens, Full HD movie recording and built-in LED macro lights. Available for £279.99 / $299.95, read our in-depth Pentax Optio WG-3 review now...
One of the fastest growing segments in the digital camera market is compact, rugged cameras. Five years ago you had just two manufacturers selling waterproof cameras (Olympus and Pentax). In 2013, every major manufacturer is now producing at least one waterproof/rugged model.
Pentax has a long history of making rugged cameras. Its WG-3 series - which comes in standard and GPS flavors - is Pentax's fifteenth generation waterproof model. The WG-3 may have a unusual, almost playful design, but there's no doubt that it's as rugged as anything else on the market.
Pentax WG-3 is a 16.0MP Waterproof camera with a 1/2.3-inch sized BSI-CMOS sensor and 25-100 mm F2.0-4.9 lens. Read our WG-3 review to find its pros and cons.
The compact Pentax WG-3 is rugged, waterproof, and packs a fast lens. Its design is striking, but its images show quite a bit of noise at higher ISO settings.
Pentax WG-3 Review – The Pentax WG-3 features an eye-catching design which makes it stand out from the crowded lifeproof camera market?
