The Pentax WG-8 is basically everything-proof. The heavy-duty body is waterproof to 20 m, dustproof, shockproof against falls of up to 2.1 m, crushproof against weights up to 100 kgf, and freeze-proof against temperatures as low as -10°C. The 20-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 28-140 mm lens (35 mm equivalent). Just the thing for making the most of the great outdoors.

Good to know

- You can capture 4K movies – the Movie SR (Shake Reduction) mode helps keeps things looking steady
- The 3” LCD screen has an anti-reflection coating and Outdoor View setting for shooting in bright sunlight
- Choose from 24 scene modes including auto, landscape, and underwater for the best results every time
- Shoot two images at the same time – one with flash and one without – then pick the best one
- Use the 1 cm macro mode to capture close-up images of small subjects like flowers and insects
