Pentax Optio WG-3 Camera Review

Talk about Pentax going the rugged route, but with its latest Optio WG-3, you got a nifty outdoors camera that can take note of a few other important things like barometric pressure, geo location, altitude and underwater depth.

Fashionably, the Optio WG-3 looks nice to pair up with trail sneakers.  Thee camera has a 16-megapixel, 1/2.3-inch BSI CMOS sensor, a 4x lens that can open at an f/2 wide-angle maximum aperture, along with options for 1080/30p and 720/60p video capture. By default, its waterproof to 14 meters (46 feet), shockproof to 2 meters (6.5 feet) and freeze-proof to -10 degrees Celsius (14 degrees Fahrenheit). It has a rechargeable lithium ion battery that can average 200 images when fully charged. The Optio WG-3 can take a beating like your wallet at $300-$350.
