Pentax expands ruggedized series with Optio WG-3, Target-exclusive WG-10

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><hr dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" /> <div class="image-container" dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;"> <img alt="Pentax expands ruggedized series with Optio WG3, Targetexclusive WG10" data-src-height="383" data-src-width="620" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/01/pentaxwg3orange001.jpg" /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"> Think it might be time for a new ruggedized Pentax? It looks like the company agrees -- two new models are making their debut this week at CP+. The first is actually a rebranded WG-1, now called the WG-10, which will be available exclusively at Target stores and the website beginning in April. It's identical to the WG-1, save for the obligatory red finish and a $180 price tag. The second model is more of an original number -- it's an update to last year's WG-2. The new compact, dubbed the WG-3, maintains the unique design of the other two Optios, including a nifty LED ring around the lens for lighting macro shots.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"><span>There's a 16-megapixel, 1/2.3-inch BSI CMOS sensor, a 3-inch 460k-dot LCD, a 4x lens with an f/2 wide-angle maximum aperture, along with options for 1080/30p and 720/60p video capture. It's waterproof to 14 meters (46 feet), shockproof to 2 meters (6.5 feet) and freeze-proof to -10 degrees Celsius (14 degrees Fahrenheit). The basic version will run you $300, while a tricked-out $350 model adds GPS and Qi wireless charging, along with a secondary LCD that displays the current time, barometric pressure, a compass, altitude and underwater depth. Snag a peek in the gallery below.</span></div></div>

Pentax shows NERV, flashes Japan-only Evangelion-flavored Q10s

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><hr style="margin-left: 0px; margin-right: auto;" /> <div class="copy post-body" style="text-align: left;"> <div class="image-container" style="text-align: left;"> <img alt="Pentax parades Evangelionflavored Q10s" data-src-height="370" data-src-width="619" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/01/pentax-evangelion-1-28-13-01.jpg" /></div><div style="text-align: left;"> We've seen Neon Genesis Evangelion-branded devices for quite awhile now, and as a testament to the garish-hued series' longevity, Pentax has announced a special edition, show-themed Q10 series of its own. It'll release a mere 1,500 of the models in Evangelion heroine shades, starting with the Eva-01 model shown above at a price of 59,800 Yen ($660 or so). Besides showing your love for '90s anime, that sum will get you a 12.4-megapixel, mirrorless interchangeable shooter capable of Full HD video, while filling out the already-bounteous Q10 color choices from the hue-loving outfit. Stateside fans of the show will likely be disappointed though -- it'll only be sold in Japan, starting in April. Check the source to see the other colors.</div></div></div>
