Great pictures. Love the macro capability. Nice to be able to authenticate the location of photo's that are taken using the GPS system.

I buy these for all our field employees. They really put durability to the test. Great camera!

I have taken the Pentax white water rafting without any problem (and my wife has done likewise with its predecessor.) We get splashed or submerged often. Battery life is fine. I find that one battery (I usually carry 3) lasts most of the day, which for me means 200-400 shots, with some short movies mixed in. The picture resolution is quite good. If you don't need huge sized photos, I like the candid indoor photos I took over the holidays without flash. People are more relaxed without a flash. They're fine as snapshots. The macro (with integrated lights) is fantastic: amazing in a camera this size. You can go right up against a flower, and take a spectacular shot of the beautiful patterns displayed in its center.

WG-2 Has a bigger screen and size than WG 1, but suffers from Very noisy Images at ISO ABOVE 200 making it useless for any low light photography. This issue is due to its new CMOS CHIP. WHICH. REPLACE THE CCD. On the WG 1
