PENTAX Optio WG-2 and Optio WG-2 GPS with 1080p Video

February 9, 2012 By Editor

An interesting new rugged, waterproof, dustproof  device from Pentax delivers strength, durability, GPS, and much more – perhaps an interesting option for anyone needing a fine camera for field work and jobs in rugged environments. Some major improvements in the latest Optio WG-2 models include:

  • High-resolution Full HD 1080p movie recording (1920 x 1080 pixels) at 30 FPS with high quality h.264 compression.
  • Waterproof to depths of 40 feet.
  • Digital Microscope mode with one additional macro LED (total of six lights) for excellent macro lighting of subjects as close as 1 cm.
  • A newly designed GPS module that delivers a shorter time lag before GPS start-up and longer battery life during GPS activation.
  • A new optional SportMount Chest Harness that straps-on the WG-2 for hands-free HD movie capture of every exciting moment of adventure on land, sea or in the air.

Priced at $349.95 USD, Optio WG-2 will be available in a choice of Black or Vermillion Red, while the Optio WG-2 GPS will be priced at $399.95 USD in a choice of Shiny Orange or Gloss White.  See complete details and Specs
