In addition to their outdoor-friendly waterproof, dustproof and shock-resistant construction, these heavy-duty models offer much-improved image quality in high-sensitivity shooting and Full HD movie recording capability.

Equipped with the latest back-illuminated CMOS image sensor and a state-of-the-art imaging engine, the Optio WG-2 and Optio WG-2 GPS perform superbly in high-sensitivity shooting — such as when shooting at night or at poorly illuminated indoor sports arenas — delivering much clearer, sharper images with minimized noise than previous models. With 16 effective megapixels, they also offer high-resolution Full HD movie recording (1920 x 1080 pixels). Coupled with a new wide, high-resolution LCD monitor assuring effortless viewing of captured images even under the bright sun, and outstanding underwater shooting capability of up to a depth of 12 meters, the Optio WG-2 and Optio WG-2 GPS perform dependably and brilliantly even under demanding outdoor conditions.  

The PENTAX Optio WG-2 GPS is also equipped with a newly designed GPS module that offers some crucial improvements over its predecessor.
