Pentax WG-3 prices and specs
The Pentax WG-3 was released on Jan 29, 2013. For today the cheapest price for the device is 1,016.06
The Pentax WG-3 belongs to the category of point and shoot cameras. Its main benefit is a very small size: the photographer can even put it in the pocket. The camera has various automatic modes but you won't capture photographs of the same high quality in comparison to large sensor compact cameras.
The device can shoot photos at 16 megapixels max resolution. But for better photo quality the more important thing is a sensor size. The WG-3 has a 1/2.3' (6.17 x 4.55 mm) sensor which means that the camera will produce photos with not so high quality as cameras with larger sensors but instead it has more portable size. But if you want to make photos of the best quality check Leica M Edition 60.
The camera has max shutter speed of 1/4000 sec. It is an average shutter speed which will be enough for taking action photos of a satisfactory quality. The camera captures high quality videos in Full HD resolution.
The lens is built into the device and the camera owner can't change it. The lens provides 4x optical zoom.
The Pentax WG-3 battery life will be enough to take approximately 240 photos.
