Pentax has been making cameras for donkeys’ years and is the only photographic manufacturer that’s still persevering with DSLRs. Its compact cameras have gone by the name of Ricoh since that company acquired Pentax back in 2011, but the Pentax badge has returned with the Pentax WG-8, which I’ve recently reviewed. The WG-1000 that I’m reviewing here has some of the same tough-guy credentials but has a lower-resolution for both its image sensor and rear screen, and lacks the extreme macro mode and LED array around the lens. Even so, it sets out to be one of the best underwater cameras as well as one of the best cameras for kids, with a suitably affordable price tag.
