Pentax breaks out the unbreakable Optio WG1 and WG1-GPS
It’s not enough that Pentax’s new tough Optios look like something you’d buy in Snow & Rock’s Everest expedition section. Or that the 14MP snapper is so nails it’ll survive a drop of a metre and a half. Or that it can withstand 100kg of pressure, shrug off -10 degree temperatures and brave a 10m plunge.
The WG1 shoots 1cm macro shots when it’s 5x wide-angle lens isn’t involved in gnarlier pursuits and captures HD 720p vids at 30fps. It’ll be making itself known to your local camera shop from March 17 for £270, with the geo-aware WG1-GPS set to hit the shelf around the same time for a slight (but as yet unset) premium.

If there ever was an overkill in camera security, that will be it. I love its rugged look, and if the boasts of its hardiness is true, it should withstand some of the most extreme places on earth. If I go ever go hiking, there's one camera I know I should bring.
