Review on 📷 Pentax Optio WG-2 Kit: Waterproof Camera Package for Adventurers by Jason Childs

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent after 3 years

I have been using this camera for 3 years and still love it. It has insane zoom and LEDs around the lens that allow you to zoom in on individual grains of sand or tiny insects. Without exaggeration! Everything is fine under water, but honestly the pictures are not the brightest. However, when I put them on my computer and use Photoshop's autocorrect, all the colors come out. The color is somehow captured but not displayed until the image is corrected. At least that's the case when about 10 feet underwater or in sandy water. It also cuts a fine figure out of the water. The zoom is amazing, especially with a small tripod to keep it steady. The only thing I don't like is that you can't charge it while it's still waterproof. But you can't open the battery compartment immediately after getting out of the water without risking water getting in. Luckily I can get several days for free. However, the thing is solid! I threw it from a waterfall and then jumped down to get it. Thrown at friends, dropped etc. Works like new.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Vulgarity
