Quand Pentax a annoncé le remplaçant du baroudeur W90, le petit WG1, chez W3sh on s'est dit qu'il serait parfait pour les vacances ! Rien de tel que de tester l'appareil en conditions réelles pour voir ce qu'il a dans le ventre.

August 12, 2010 [REVIEW—PENTAX W90]
Price: $450
Rugged and competent
The low-down: This 12 megapixel camera with a 28–140mm (film equivalent) lens is Pentax’s indestructible, go-anywhere camera. Construction is rugged with a nice feel to the rubberised overlay. It is waterproof to a depth of six metres and can withstand the shock of a drop from 1.2 metres. It is dustproof and can operate at temperatures as low as -10c. The LCD is small but has decent visibility in sunlight. External function controls are limited and the menu system is unattractive. There is a “digital microscope” mode which focuses to 1cm, using the digital zoom. There is even an LED ring light built in for ultra closeup illumination. It works! There are the usual non-essentials such as face detection, digital filters. There is no in-lens or sensor-shift image stabilisation.
