<p>Pentax has announced its latest line of uber-durable "adventureproof" compact cameras. There are three distinct cameras in the lineup: the WG-3, the WG-3 GPS, and the WG-10. All three are designed to take a beating and survive in locations that would be hazardous to other cameras' health.The WG-3 cameras feature a 16-megapixel backside-illuminated CMOS sensor, a 4x optical zoom lens (f/2 at the wide end), and in-camera shake reduction.</p><p>It's waterproof down to 45 feet, shockproof from drops up to 6.6 feet, coldproof down to 14-degrees Fahrenheit, and crushproof up to 220-foot-pounds of force.</p><p>The cameras feature a nifty Digital Microscope mode that uses 6 LED lights arranged around the lens on the front of the camera as illumination for macro photographs. In this mode, the camera can focus as close as 1cm (~0.39in) from the subject.</p><p>Another neat feature is wireless charging support using the Qi standard, which allows you to juice up your camera simply by placing it on a Qi-compatible wireless charging pad.</p><p><a href="http://petapixel.com/2013/02/01/pentax-wg-3-everything-proof-compact-microscope-mode-and-wireless-charging/">Keep reading...</a></p>
