DCRP Review: Pentax Optio WG-1 GPS

The Pentax Optio WG-1 GPS has a lot to offer, but it's ultimately a rugged camera that's average (or a bit below) in most respects.

And it'll withstand most of the rigors of adventure, including water, dust, cold, and shock; even the crushing pressure found in a backpack or back pocket.
