Pentax Optio WG-2 Digital Camera Review

Usability

Like most tough-cams, the WG-2 handles an acts like an automatic point-and-shoot, just clunkier. The angular design, rubbery grip, and light body-weight are easy to handle, and it's compact enough to fit easy into a jacket or cargo pocket. The small sticky buttons are frustrating at times, and the sluggish continuous shooting mode is a disappointment. Pentax really needs to update their ugly old menu system, but there are flashes of brilliance in this interface, including the assignable green button and modes like Digital Microscope.
