An advanced "tourist" class camera, a modification of the WG3 model, supplemented with a GPS module. It is made in a protected case that allows you to endure immersion in water up to 14 m, falls from a height of up to 2 m and frosts down to -10 °C, and the package includes a strap with a carabiner for carrying. At the same time, the main features of the device are quite worthy; here, first of all, it is worth noting the fast f / 2.0 lens, as well as a 16-megapixel matrix with sensitivity up to ISO 6400. Other features include LED lighting around the lens.

Does a full frame make a difference? Is it worth buying a full-frame camera?Do I need to spend money on an expensive full frame or is it better to buy a cropped camera?..

A solid camera that takes good quality photos and videos.
23 June 2013 
The only thing I didn't like was the design, but due to the optics of the body, the camera fits very comfortably in the hand. Of the new photo features, the camera has added an HDR shooting function. The quality of the photos is better than last year's model (given that the WG-2 produced excellent quality photos under normal lighting conditions, as for a point-and-shoot camera), now there is a background blur effect, since the new camera, WG-3, has new, more powerful optics, and a wider angle (now at 25 mm, f/2.0 aperture). They added proprietary image stabilization based on matrix shift, like in Pentax SLR cameras. I was pleased with the new camera function - so to speak, macro video shooting (focusing from 1 cm), they also improved the high-speed video shooting mode (now it shoots in a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels, i.e. in HD quality), added a new video shooting mode - a slow-motion shooting mode for accelerated playback (though in this mode it shoots in a resolution of 640 x 360 pixels). The normal video mode shoots in a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, 30 frames per second (but, stabilization is only digital). Sound is recorded in stereo. A brief, preliminary video review of the WG-3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRNNbjTqOow
+ Durable plastic case (LCD display is protected by durable acrylic glass);
+ High-aperture optics (background blur effect is present);
+ Dual image stabilization system;
+ Time-lapse shooting;
+ High-quality video (even in poor lighting conditions);
+ Unique LED backlight (in macro/video shooting modes);
+ Stereo microphone.
- design for everyone

PEOPLE BE CAREFUL - DON'T FALL FOR ADVERTISEMENTS

I bought the camera for its waterproofness. It leaked on the second day even without diving - just while swimming on the surface with a snorkel mask. They refused warranty repairs - they hinted that I didn't close/click the lid. As a result - 13 thousand rubles down the drain.
use Pentax Optio WG-3 GPS week i recommend it don't buy

good model, I liked it
22 February 2015 
We have been using it for 2 years: we scuba dived in the Red Sea to 8 m - excellent photos and videos. On the first dive it released bubbles, but did not leak. Only the battery is weak.
size, build quality, macro photography
weak battery, the lens is positioned in such a way that I constantly hit it with my finger
use Pentax Optio WG-3 GPS month or more i recommend it should buy
