The Pentax WG-1000 is basically everything-proof. The heavy-duty body is waterproof to 14 m, dustproof, shockproof against falls of up to 1.6 m, crushproof against weights up to 100 kg, and freeze-proof against temperatures as low as -10°C. So, no matter how gruelling your trek gets, it'll hold up. The 16.76-megapixel back-illuminated CMOS sensor gives you sharp images with high dynamic range and low noise. And you can go from sweeping landscapes to detailed wildlife shots with the 27-108 mm lens (35 mm equivalent). Just the thing for making the most of the great outdoors.
