Pentax WG-3 GPS prices and specs
The Pentax WG-3 GPS was released on Jan 29, 2013 and is sold in USA for 1,016.06
The Pentax WG-3 GPS belongs to the category of compact cameras. Its main benefit is a small size: the photographer can take it anywhere with himself easily. The WG-3 GPS is equipped with different automatic modes but you won't shoot photos of the same great quality in comparison to large sensor compact cameras.
The Pentax WG-3 GPS can take images at 16 megapixels max resolution. But for better image quality the more important specification is a sensor size. This model has a 1/2.3' (6.17 x 4.55 mm) sensor which means that the WG-3 GPS will take images with not so high quality as cameras with larger sensors but instead it is smaller. And if you want to produce images of the best quality pay attention to Leica SL (Typ 601).
The WG-3 GPS has max shutter speed of 1/4000 sec. It is an average shutter speed which is rather good for making action images of a satisfactory quality. The WG-3 GPS produces high quality videos in Full HD resolution.
The lens is built into the Pentax WG-3 GPS and you can't switch it. The lens has 4x optical zoom.
The WG-3 GPS even equiped with built-in GPS that will allow you to record the exact co-ordinates at which the images were captured. The Pentax WG-3 GPS battery life will be enough to take up to 240 images.
