Pentax Optio WG-2

Searching for an ultra rugged, waterproof, dustproof and shock-resistant digital camera? Well… I believe we’ve found the holy grail! The Pentax Optio WG-2 was designed for adventure and features an impressive back-illuminated 16 megapixel CMOS image sensor and powerful imaging engine, which when translated from nerd-speak simply describes that it’s capable of delivering hi-res, clear, sharp images with less noise. The WG-2 is Pentax’s 13th generation rugged digital camera and they’ve pull out all the stops with this model. Some specs that impressed us the most were that it’s been cool-proofed to -10° (C), can withstand drops from up to 5ft and it’s crush-proofed to withstand pressures of 220 lbs. If you’re hard on equipment, love taking photos and live and extremely active life the WG-2 could be your new best friend!
