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.
