WG-3 16MP White Waterproof Shockproof Crushproof Digital Camera Kit
(E2PKOPTWG3W)
Pros: Works great in bright sunlight for photos or video for the average user. Above or underwater was no problem. Has many different modes for different indoor/outdoor settings. Only used standard and underwater modes for pictures and movies and both worked very well. Regular zoom is good and can be used while recording video - my earlier version from Pentax would not. I did not use other modes. Camera is easy to use in or out of water.
Cons: Microphone on video is fair at best - would not use for functions that voice or sound is important. If you pan fast you can see a slight "jumpiness" in frames. Regular zoom is good(4x) and can be used while recording video. Would not recommend using the digital zoom for photos or video - as usual you lose all sharpness.
Other Comments: I used this specifically for my vacation in the Caribbean for the purpose of ease of use for these conditions - outdoors in bright sunlight and for underwater excursions(catamaran and beach use). Worked very well for this and easy to carry with - I put it in my pocket on swim trunks.
I did consider the GoPro but I did not like the extreme outside "warping" from the fisheye lens.
I give it 5 Stars because it did what I wanted it to do for for the above conditions.
Yes, I recommend this product

TAKES A BEATING & KEEPS WORKING

WG-3 16MP White Waterproof Shockproof Crushproof Digital Camera Kit
(E2PKOPTWG3W)
Pros: During a vacation in Costa Rica I had a bad cycling accident with the camera taking the brunt of the fall and though it is badly scratched, it continues to work like a charm. Any other camera would have not survived and I would have been unable to take photos for the duration of my trip.
The quality of the photos and video are great. Battery life is also good.

Small Waterproof Camera on Steroids
By Lonetree Rick on

Review submitted for
Pentax
WG-3 16MP White Waterproof Shockproof Crushproof Digital Camera Kit
(E2PKOPTWG3W)
Pros: A lot of features. Quite versatile. All that it can do is amazing.
Cons: Controls not so intuitive. Takes a while to learn. Heavy and bulky for a small camera but I suppose that is what makes it so robust. Shutter and on/off buttons small so they take some getting used to with large fingers.
Other Comments: The strap that comes with it has a fairly heavy duty carabineer with it which makes it good for hooking to climbing gear, etc but a little too bulky for more traditional uses. I'm still learning about the camera and have not used it in water yet. So far I have not wished I spent the extra for the GPS version.
Yes, I recommend this product

Pentax Underwater Digital Camera
By JR9361 on

Review submitted for
Pentax
WG-3 16MP White Waterproof Shockproof Crushproof Digital Camera Kit
(E2PKOPTWG3W)
Pros: I love everything about it. The functions and effects are easy to navigate and it takes very good pictures in all types of conditions.
Cons: None that I have found yet.
Other Comments: The protective film for the viewing screen (included) seemed like a good idea but while diving it made the display harder to see because of the way the light from the surface was being diffused. I pulled the film off and the problem was greatly reduced.
Yes, I recommend this product

WG-3 16MP White Waterproof Shockproof Crushproof Digital Camera Kit
(E2PKOPTWG3W)
Pros: Nice pictures, Feels sturdy, You Don't Worry About It, Rugged
Cons: The Kit Is Cheep, Buy The Items Seperatly, Shutter Button Hard Press, Zoom Noise During Vidio
Other Comments: This is a great camera to take everywhere and not worry about it. Beach, hiking, skiing, snorkeling (40 feet), bike riding, even a crowded venue where it might get knocked around. As for the kit that comes with it don't bother, if you want the items that are in it buy them separately.
