Ever wanted to just beat the living crap out of your camera sometimes? Me neither! But some cameras are essentially designed for you to do just that. And that is where the Pentax WG3 may mostly appeal to the adventurer type of personality. With an F2 lens at the wide angle, a digital compass, and even a clock on it, it seems like not only a cool camera but also an essential multi-functional device.
But is that enough to make you spend the money?Pros and Cons
Pros
- F2 wide angle lens
- Clock that can be illuminated on the outside
- Cool Carabiner on the exterior
- Really nice ergonomics
- Macro light
- Big LCD screen
- High speed movie shooting is pretty awesome
Cons
- It’s about time that someone makes a tough compact that shoots RAW photos
- Battery life is a bit weak, but does well in colder weather
- A bottle opener would have been a nice addition
- An HD timelapse feature would be better than the standard definition that they feature
- Loads of compression on the high speed video
