If you think digital SLR camera is very expensive, you'd better consider this next recommendation camera.
Pentax Optio WG-1 is the future generation outdoor camera that's tougher, smarter and to a greater extent weatherproof than ever. Featuring great waterproof, dustproof, shockproof, coldproof, and crushproof capableness. In addition to about 14 efficient megapixels, these models integrate a modern, advanced imaging process made potential by the newest "super-resolution" image processing technology. This process is designed to optimise the resolution of a recorded image segment by segment to make a high-resolution image that is sharper and and more true-to-life than ever before.
Each camera features a large 2.7-inch high-brightness color LCD monitor with approximately 230,000 dots and horizontally extended 16:9 proportions. The monitor is treated with a special AR (Anti-Reflection) coating to cut the glare of external light and minimize annoying reflections, making it easy to observe the subject, monitor recorded images and view on-screen menus even in bright sunlight.
Each camera also feature the latest version of the unique Pet mode, which assists in capturing the faces of dogs and cats faster and easier than ever before. In addition to the automatic detection of pets' faces, this mode allows users to pre-register the faces of up to three favorite pets so these may be detected over other pet faces. READ MORE
