Developed to be the toughest of the PENTAX WG series, the WG-8 boasts outstanding waterproof, shockproof and cold-resistant performance. This top-of-the-line model is waterproof to a depth of 65.6 feet (20 meters), shockproof against a fall from heights of 6.8 feet (2.1 meters), and able to operate in temperatures as low as 14°F (-10°C). Even in demanding conditions, it captures super-high-resolution still images of approximately 20 effective megapixels and high-quality 4K-resolution movie clips. The WG-8 has a host of advanced features and user-friendly functions, including a multi-application ring light, ideal for close-up macro photography, and web camera capability when connected to a computer for live-streaming of high-quality, high-resolution images. Its heavy-duty construction ensures that the WG-8 performs superbly and dependably in harsh, demanding outdoor conditions and on worksites

No better than a smartphone, would not recommend unless you want the smallish optical zoom.

Great camera, easy to use. Takes a little getting used to if you normally use a SLR. Amazing photos, and really had fun with it on vacation snorkeling. It's very durable and I love the green. Great travel camera

I did not use outside/travelingOn paper this looked perfect. Waterproof, 20mp, 4k and webcam.Compared to olympus tg-5This wasn't as sharp even with the extra mp,Auto flash/iso wasn't as smartThe webcam was slow to focus and looked too cropped in.Maybe it shines more when dropped and water tested but I didn't test that…I would have liked better overall photo performance.It didn’t (at least mine didn't) come with silicone cover/protector like it shows in the amazon photos.

Great camera, fun and useful, great value for money considering that is way cheaper than a Olympus TG-7

Was ok out of the box and has the potential to be better but in the first outing it was average

I have been a Pentax users for over fifty (50) years and have always been satisfied, as I am with this one. Just wish it had a WIFI function for transferring pictures, but other than that it is great for street photography and close up work.

I really liked this little camera but bought it for the compass reading to be added to my pics, couldnt so I sent it back.. finally got help from pentaxI am very sorry for the delay I tested it out and it worked great.In the C or custom menu please check the following settings.GPS set to ONGPS Disp Mode LAT/LONGPS HEADING DEGREESDATA IMPRINT LAT/LONUTC DATA IMPRINT ONHEADING DATA IMPRINT ONNext take the camera outside with a clear view of the sky.Do the compass calibrate following the instruction the camera gives you.Make sure to roll your wrists.Sometimes it takes the camera a couple of minutes to find the satellites.When it does the symbol will light up.Then you can take your picture and you will see when you look a the image in the lower right corner the recorded information.It is small but easier to see when it is not being viewed on the back of the camera.If you need more help I am happy to help.Thanks, end ..I will probably buy another just for this use.
