PENTAX WG-90 - Blue

Ricoh Imaging is pleased to announce the new PENTAX WG-90 all-weather adventure compact camera. The WG series all-weather adventure cameras – known for their rugged chassis, plus waterproof and shock-resistant features – will now be offered under the PENTAX brand, which is regarded industry-wide for developing dustproof, waterproof and weather-resistant products.

The WG-90’s waterproof, shockproof, freeze proof and crushproof construction assures outstanding reliability and operability, even under harsh conditions where ordinary compact cameras and smartphones may be unusable. It’s equipped with a 16 effective megapixel back-illuminated CMOS image sensor, high-performance imaging engine, 5X optical zoom lens providing coverage equivalent to approximately 28mm to 140mm in the 35mm format and a large, outdoor-friendly wide-frame LCD monitor. Its enhanced underwater modes for still photography and video deliver sharp, true-to-life imagery by optimizing color and contrast that are usually lost in underwater photography. It also features a built-in ring light with adjustable illumination levels that powers the PENTAX-original Digital Microscope mode, allowing the user to capture clear, vivid images of a microscopic world normally undetectable to the naked eye.

Available in a choice of blue or black, the WG-90 can be used for a wide range of scenes and subjects, ranging from casual snapshots to outdoor and underwater photography, and even in specialized worksite applications.
