Pentax Optio WG-1.

Market compact vandalism has increased considerably in recent years to be something of a niche genre dominated mainly by the "Hard" and "W" Pentax Olympus will, something to that all major camera manufacturers now have a participation.


Pentax is not exactly a newcomer in the world of compact cars reinforced. Indeed, to the sides of Olympus and its range of "mju", Pentax has contributed more than its fair share towards the compact market difficult, starting with the launch of its waterproof Optio WPI model in 2006.


Since then, the WPI has morphed into the range "W" more waterproof, shock-proof, frost-resistant and even crush-proof compact. Earlier this year, the WB-1 became the last compact Pentax to take on difficult tasks, effectively replaces the W90 of the which is released in 2010.


With an outer shell made of a combination of solid plastic and tempered glass protective WB-1 takes the W90 extreme sports style of the to its logical conclusion with more pronounced curves and false facia moulding industry.


Waterproof to 10 meters, shock-proof of 1.5 m, frost-resistant to-10 ° C and crush - 100 kg WB-1 is as difficult as it looks. Rather than a fragile-tie wrist, it's even with a metal bearing karabiner and strap that can be used to set the camera to a belt or a backpack.

Internally, the gt-1 employs a 14-megapixel sensor and the latest generation, although unnamed, Pentax image processor. Zoom capabilities are managed by a 5 x optical zoom which is the equivalent of 28-140 mm in 35 mm terms. Exceptionally, for a product photo of its type, the lens is housed in the centre of the camera, rather than on the shoulder. Nevertheless, he always uses a folded-optical design that retains all the elements of the lens in the body of the camera and behind protective glass coating.


Images can be saved to a maximum 14MP in aspect 4: 3 camera default 7MP, 5MP and 3MP options also available. You can also record of 1: 1 and 16: 9 aspect ratios if you wish, although reduced resolutions like these effectively just take a harvest by sensor, 4: 3. There are three levels of JPEG compression, which allows you to give priority to the quality or quantity of images.
