Optio WG1 Waterproof And Shock Resistant Digital Camera
Pentax has another rugged digital camera in the form of the Pentax WG-1. It is waterproof to a depth of 33 feet (2 hours of continuous operation), shockproof from a fall as high as 5 feet, dustproof, crushproof (withstanding up to 220lbs of force), and cold proof to temperatures as low as 14 degrees F. This camera will also shoot 720p HD video at 30fps.
Get ready for adventure in any environment with the new Pentax Optio WG1. The most fantasticly durrible camera. Performs great underwater. Rubber and very hard grippy plastic cover the whole camera, and gives a very rugged and tough feel, The Pentax WG-1 is such a tiny lightweight package. Featuring outstanding waterproof, dustproof, shockproof, coldproof, and crushproof capability, you can take adventure photography to new heights (and depths).
Pentax upgraded the Pentax WG1 performance in five ways with extreme features waterproof up to 33 feet, shockproof uggedized design to withstand falls up to 5 feet, crushproof construction to withstand weight force up to 220 pounds (100kgf kilogram-force). Coldproof to sub-freezing temps of minus 10 degrees C (14 degrees F), Dustproof protection for dry, dusty environments.
The WG-1 GPS has a Pentax 5x optical zoom lens stuck on the front of the camera. The focal length of the lens is 5 – 25mm (or a 35mm equivalent of 28 – 140mm). The aperture range on the lens is f/3.5 (at its widest) to f/5.5 when using the full 5x optical zoom. If you want more than the 5x optical zoom, you can use a combination of optical and digital zoom to increase the zoom up to 33.5×. Looking at the lens, you’ll immediately notice the five micro LEDs that surround the camera. While these lights aren’t necessarily part of the lens itself, they do give the lens an interesting look and design.
As for photo and imaging features, the WG-1 isn’t the most spectacular. Pentax definitely put the focus on body design, and, as a result, the image controls suffer. Still, the WG-1 GPS does have a 14-megapixel image sensor, 720p HD movie recording, and a variety of scene modes to play around with.The Pentax Optio WG-1 goes on sale from April 2011, with pricing set at about $350, some $20 more than the previous W90 model, and $50 less than the GPS-equipped version, the WG-1 GPS.
