Waterproof and strengthened, the Optio WG-1 is a compact for backpackers, Shockproof, antifroid, dustproof, waterproof ... The Optio Pentax WG-1 is built for rough terrain.
To all those who use a hammer to drive nails, drop it right away! Prefer Optio WG-1, the new compact Pentax Special beefy. The spacecraft, weird-looking, is a camera built for hostile environments - shockproof to 1.5 meters high, water resistant to 10 meters, dustproof and held at -10 ° C - built around a sensor 14-megapixel and a 28-140 mm optical (ie a zoom x5). First question: optics is not stabilized, normal for Pentax, the sensor either. Too bad!
GPS inside
Two models of WG-1 will emerge. The one with GPS, the other without. GPS always handy for geotagging images in software such as Picasa, Aperture, or in the web galleries. The unknown is the performance of that GPS and especially its energy consumption.
Macro mode in the spotlight
WG-1 is intended as the natural man, who crouched in wet grass to take pictures of John the Desert: the optical device is indeed surrounded by 5 LED light subjects in macro mode and has a mode improved microscope. A really good idea, especially as the WG-1 is not equipped with an optical or a very light sensitive sensor.
Carabiner and standard equipment
Aside from his armor and strap with clasp (for sporting use intense), WG-1 is a device equipped as standard an LCD screen of 6.8 inches diagonal embedding 230 000 points (16 / 9) of the classic 720p HD video, a standard CCD sensor ... in short, nothing but very classic. It is proposed that $ 329 GPS, $ 299 without.
