- Good Points
- Easy to set up. Easy to read icons for selecting picture mode, each with on screen definition. Very good close up capability down to 1cm. with built in LED lighting on close up. Good colour compensation when used in under water shots.
- Bad Points
- Not all of screen is available when taking pictures which does make for a smasll viewing area. Limited optical zoom, only 5X. Digital zoom can be quite grainy at high end and camera needs to be on stand.

Summary: I have to confess that I was prepared to adore this camera even before I opened the box. That's because I'd already fallen in love with its ancestor: the Optio WP1.
Conclusion: Overall, the camera is very easy to use – its operations are pretty intuitive and the various picture modes easy to access and switch between. It also comes with an excellent operating manual – all printed and running to, wait for it, 312 pages. It’s...
Pro : Sheer ruggedness ; Good images ; Good optical zoom ; Easy to use
Cons : Colour trueness on some settings

Summary: ($399) is a compact, rugged camera that is designed to be outside in the elements. It's waterproof to 33 feet, shockproof from 5 feet, crushproof to 220 lbs, and freezeproof to 14F. The WG-1 looks like it means business, with a design that's the polar...
Conclusion: Despite it's fun features and unique design, I was let down by the Optio WG-1's mediocre photo and video quality, almost useless GPS, and lack of image stabilization. In a sea of rugged cameras, this one definitely doesn't float to the top in my...
Pro : Accurate color and exposure; lens is sharp across the frame ; Rugged, uniquely styled body is water, dust, shock, crush, and freezeproof (though see my concern below) ; 2.7" LCD display has good outdoor, low light visibility ; Auto Picture mode...
Cons : Photos are noisy and have lots of detail smudging, even at ISO 80 ; Some highlight clipping and purple fringing at times (use the D-Range tool for the former) ; Redeye a problem, though removal tool in playback mode works well ; No optical image...

Summary: The latest in Pentax's popular line of “tough” pocket cameras, the14-megapixel WG-1 now comes in eye-catching orange.
