Adventure is yours once again. Introducing the PENTAX WG-2.

ogunturkay · 02-07-2012, 03:38 PM

I received an e-mail now.

joe.penn · 02-07-2012, 04:43 PM

Yep - I received the same email a little bit ago...

Docrwm · 02-07-2012, 04:54 PM

Yes, so did I. Of course, I haven't had a K-01 email yet.........

AGWoodard · 02-07-2012, 05:18 PM

Cool looking cam, but not for 350 bucks.

**7samurai** · 02-07-2012, 05:28 PM

I'm hoping it will drop in price quickly. need to get one for my daughter.

Adam · 02-07-2012, 05:29 PM

The price should fall to $200 ish quite quickly. If you look at the WG-1 it fell to under $200 eventually.

Well, it comes in a bunch of cool colors, but I'll need to know who designed it before I can tell if it's a good camera.

**ismaelg** · 02-07-2012, 07:13 PM

I'm sure I can sell a few of these. I know my chances are close to none, but how can I get in contact with a distributor?

Get in touch with Pentax USA.

Aside from the double entendres, I completely hear this in my head:

I asked a Pentax rep and they said the WG-2 designer was some unknown named "Optimus Prime".

but seriously this camera looks so sleek it might have come from Cybertron or designed by HAL or something =)) If the K-01 was designed like this...

which looks cool for a camera, or at least to me

I will ask my trekker friends their opinion about this design.
