Nolan Kienitz Posted October 17, 2011 Report Posted October 17, 2011 I'm a tad slow, but just came across information that the Pentax Optio W90 has been replaced with the Pentax Optio WG-1. Some improvements and hopefully the battery has a bit more life than the one for the W90. Regardless ... I really like my W90. Optio WG-1 Noted prices at a smidge over $200 ... not too bad.
Bill Kibbel Posted October 17, 2011 Report Posted October 17, 2011 Very nice. I want the purple one. Do you know how low you can set the resolution? I rarely need more than 1 megapixel, much less 14.
kurt Posted October 17, 2011 Report Posted October 17, 2011 They're saying 320x240 with something called QVGA. They probably have the usual 640x480 with the "good, better, best" quality setting. I use 640x480 for all my stuff; each pic ends up about 110kb.
Nolan Kienitz Posted October 17, 2011 Author Report Posted October 17, 2011 I'm considering the purple one as well. [^] There is absolutely nothing wrong with my W90, but the shape of the WG-1 is intriguing from a grip-ability (new word) standpoint. I was able to get what I call the W90 "camera condom" from Pentax. It is a rubbery sleeve that provides some extra "grip" on the W90. The new shape and extra rubber bumpers on the WG-1 are likely a response to that from users. I'm kinda like Kurt and his flashlights ! ... I've not yet pulled the trigger on the Olight M20 and may hang loose and get the WG-1 instead. Can't say "why" for sure ... but it is giving me pause for concern/consideration. But then its like another hole in the head ... I really don't "need" it.
