Thread: Pentax Optio WG1, APN adventurer

Hi all,

The Pentax Optio WG1, APN14Mpix of fighter, able to dive to 10 meters deep, to withstand 100kg of pressure and a fall of 1.5 meters, with a 5x optical zoom andto an improved macro mode 5 LED, and GPS option, was releasedrecently, I would love to have feedback from users, but I findnothing yet.


Is there among you of those whopurchase this thing? Know you a good test of the beast?

Thank you!

A purple and black, for they are not confused I should receive animals in the week. Well, with their security measures to nuts, they require copies of identification and proof of address, my order is still not ready.

In fact they are a little swelling with these security measures, is that it can avoid the use of CB stolen, but it is mainly to protect themselves, and it makes buying more difficult.

The first surprise: it is smaller than I had imagined, which is a pleasant surprise. I did some tests last night Rapidos It is very promising for a little thing, especially in terms of macro. I quickly tested under water too, I was a little anxious to see bubbles escape at the trigger, I will find out if this is normal.

The photos are "raw", the adult frog, it is possible that this is due to a move at the onset, I was face down with arms outstretched hoping not to scare shooter before. I also believe that I was in macro, depth of field less so. (EXIF: Focal Length: 20.6mm (35mm equivalent) Exposure Time: 0.0063 s (1 / 160) Aperture: f/5.2, ISO Equiv. 160; whitebalance: Auto) The mini frog it, moving all the time, it was necessary to trigger at the right time without moving!

In the first series (post of 26 May), I find the pictures in "microscope" enough "bland" and sometimes blurred or poorly defined (see details on the gas just before the nose of the cat, and the detail of the insect at the end of series).

But I prefer them too bland rather than too saturated everywhere. The camera has made ​​pushing the contrast, sharpness and color saturation, I do not like, because you lose information (eg decreases in dynamic increase in artifacts) and thus also lose flexibility in editing.

Hh yeah, and then we see anything with all these plants, it's a fear may slip his hand dedant! And what, moreover, these floating plants? They look like froglets but there's no slot at the base of the leaf.

I had a bath in the first test (test that scared me with the bubbles), but hey, that's what, like you I will not post not for the plant, I call it stupid lenses water.

What repulses me most is still the kind that passes the leech CO Update as those youth who faces before fleeing with a sneer at TV reports. Even if a leech is not dangerous , it gives not want!

I bought this unit there is a little over a month. My first impressions are very good. Certainly it is necessary to play with various options for image quality that suits me, but its advantages are worth these efforts.

The option zoom microscope is impressive, and his qualities as fighters that can be used in all significant situations (being sealed can of course take pictures underwater, but also to manipulate the device in a sal and clean under water then no worries).
