Pentax Optio WG-1 with Pentax WG-10 Overview


Let's compare WG-10 with Optio WG-1. Both cameras produced Pentax. These models are included in the Waterproof cameras. Pentax WG-10 was released in 2013, and Pentax WG-1 in 2011. WG-10 is newer, which is a plus. Optio WG-1 2 years older. However 2 years, the difference is not so bad.
These two cameras have the same sensor resolution - 14 MP. The more megapixels the camera has, the more detailed and clear the picture will be. The number of megapixels will also affect the maximum size of the photos, which then can be printed without loss of quality.
At the first camera (WG-10), the minimum ISO value is lower, which gives more opportunities for shooting in daylight. A larger maximum ISO allows you to take good pictures in the dark. WG-10 has image stabilization(Sensor-shift), Optio WG-1 doesn’t, it is a big minus. Both cameras feature a 2-inch fixed screen.
Burst mode, also called continuous shooting mode, sports mode or continuous high speed mode, is a shooting mode in still cameras. Pentax WG-10 has 1.0 fps continuous shooting. Pentax WG-10 has 1.0 fps continuous shooting.
