The Pentax WG-8 is a rugged compact camera built to survive drops, dust and water, with a 20MP CMOS sensor, a 5x optical zoom lens and sensor-shift shake reduction. It adds a ring light around the lens for macro shots, plus a built-in compass and barometer for outdoor use. It suits hikers, snorkelers and parents who want a camera that survives rough handling rather than a phone. Against rivals like the Olympus Tough TG-7 it trades some lens brightness and RAW flexibility for a simpler, tougher body, and reviewers say image quality is good in daylight but soft in low light.
