Pentax WG-3 review

I've been looking at buying a rugged point and shoot for a while now and the WG3 has very few reviews out there.
In case it helps anyone, this blog review paints a good picture:

I already have a Pentax K-r and Panasonic LX5 for my pick up and go shooting but I want something a little more robust for the UK climate and when I take my daughter swimming.

Is there anyone on this forum who has anything positive or constructive to add on the WG-3?

Hi,

I posted a few of my impressions a while back on the forum (from real world use), plus a few images. If you search back you will find the post, but basically (to summarize)- I like it

Thanks for the reply. I like your impression post and it has made me more eager for the camera.
Can I ask what post processing you did for the under water shot?

I ran the image through photoshop. I can't remember now exactly the processing I did, although it was not significantly complex. Something like: auto contrast, auto tone, then some minor curve adjustments.

cheers. thanks.

Dpreview have just posted their mini review for the WG-3.
It seems to be as good as similar cameras reading the review.
Worth a read of you're considering getting a waterproof rugged camera.
