Introduction

Pentax is bringing back its adventuresome spirit with the company’s 13th-genaration tough-cam, the Optio WG-2. The camera has the same lens, similar body design, and most of the same features as last year’s WG-1, but the new model includes a revamped image sensor and a Full HD 1080p movie mode—not to mention enhanced waterproofing that allows the WG-2 to take a plunge of up to 40 feet underwater.
