Exactly twelve months after the unveiling of the Optio WG-1 family,
Pentax is now introducing the successors to its colorful and ruggedized
shooters. And while its macho design hasn't changed much, the newcomers
usher in a host of predictable spec bumps. The new all-terrain shooters
are sporting a 16-megapixel, back-illuminated CMOS sensor, 1080p
(30fps) movie mode, micro-HDMI for when you feel like sharing your
adventures and a 3-inch, 460,000 -dot LCD to help you frame your shots.
Of course, this wouldn't fall under the rugged category
if it couldn't handle anything you threw at it, which is why any WG-2
is waterproof up to 40 feet, shock-resistant and dustproof. If you're
thinking about taking one of these on the trails with you, be ready to
unleash around $350 for the unguided model or about $50 more for a
GPS-enabled number. Neither will be available until March, so you'll
have to wait a while
