Pentax WG-8 All-Weather
Waterproof to 20 meters, shockproof from 2.1-meter drops, and operational at -10°C, this 20MP 1/2.3-inch CMOS camera captures 4K video with a 5x optical zoom (28-140mm equivalent). Built-in GPS and a digital compass enable geotagged content, while the glove-friendly, crushproof body (100kgf) and Full HD 30fps webcam mode support live streaming in extreme conditions. It’s best for outdoor adventurers and field technicians who need a durable, location-aware streaming camera rather than high-end still photography.
