Pentax Optio WG-1 Kit Digital Camera - 2011

Like a certain caped comic-book superhero, the ridiculously rugged Optio WG-1 Kit Digital Camera can take whatever punishment you're in the mood to dish out. Waterproof to 33 feet (so you can shoot underwater), shockproof from up to a 5-foot drop, crush-proof to withstand up to 100KG of force, cold-proof to 14F, and dust-proof, this is one point-and-shoot you're going to have to work hard to destroy. Also tough to beat: advanced features in this high-res 14-megapixel camera that allow you to capture anything from detailed Super Macro shots to HD movies.

  • Quick 1.3-second power-up time and 0.03 shutter lag means you'll be ready to get the shot with a moment's notice
  • Digital Microscope mode with LED lens lighting captures subjects as near as 1cm from the camera
  • Shoot HD video and use the movie edit function to complete basic, on-the-fly editing in-camera
  • 5X optical zoom combined with 6.7x digital zoom allows you to shoot anything from spectacular landscapes to tightly framed snapshots
  • Face-detection and pet-detection modes zero in on the faces of your loved ones to ensure sharp focus
  • Triple anti-shake protection prevents different kinds of camera shake so you can nail crisp, clear shots even if you're jostled or on an unstable surface
  • Built-in flash allows you to fill in shadowy areas or shoot in the dark with an effective area of 13 feet (3.9m) at wide angle to 8.2 feet (2.5m) shooting zoomed
  • HDMI port lets you play back your images on your high-def TV
  • Custom image modes include black and white, sepia, toy camera, retro, high contrast, starburst, soft, fisheye and a variety of others
  • Comes with battery, charger, strap, caribiner strap, macro stand, USB cable, AV cable, and software CD

Bottom Line: Great for kids, butter-fingered adults, and people who deliver massive amounts of abuse to their gear.
