The WG adventure camera series are “more durability than ever before” says Pentax Ricoh Imaging Americas, and “ready for more adventure in any outdoor setting.”
The cameras are waterproof to depths of 40 feet; shockproof against drops from 5 feet; crushproof against weights up to 220 LBF (pound-force); coldproof to sub-freezing temps of minus 10 degrees C (14 degrees F).
They have a new backside-illuminated 16-megapixel CMOS sensor, 5X optical zoom lens from 28-140mm equivalent, 3-inch LCD, and 1080p video capture. Also new is a “digital microscope” mode for “excellent macro lighting of subjects as close as 1 camera,” the company says.
GPS and non-GPS versions are available: $350 for the Optio WG-2, or $400 for the Optio WG-2 GPS.
