Digital cameras need to come with better features if ever they would want to remain relevant in a world where smartphones with cameras now rule. More people tend to prefer using their smartphone to take photos instead of compact digital cameras these days, partially due to convenience. Digital cameras can try to cover the places where most smartphone cameras dare not venture into. That would probably be in rugged territory. In such places, people would prefer using rugged digital cameras like the new Pentax WG3.
The Pentax WG3 Rugged Digital Camera is designed for taking pictures in rugged environments. It is waterproof for up to 14 meters and shockproof for drops from up to 2 meters. It also comes with a high sensitivity back illuminated 16M CMOS image sensor, 4x optical zoom lens and can record in Full HD video aside from 16M still images. Other features include a dual shake reduction system, a wide frame 3.0-inch LCD monitor and six LED Macro Lights for macro shooting. The new Pentax WG3 Rugged Digital Camera is expected to have these rugged cameras out anytime this year. There are no details yet on how much these cameras will cost.
