We have been torturing the Pentax WG-2 and putting it through its paces. We had the idea of putting the camera in the hands of my kids to see if they could do it some harm. But something else happened, something that surprised me. When I put the Pentax WG-2 in my kid’s hands to test its durability, I did not know they would like it so much.
After a quick lesson on how to take pictures with it, we did some family chores .The camera was dropped and fought over. However they got some shots. Their pics are unedited, just watermarked.

The Pentax WG-2 was intuitive. Watching the kids use the camera was very interesting.

With this Pentax WG-2 you’re not worried about kids dropping it breaking it. Mistakes can be made, and the kids really seem to enjoy it. It allows the kids to actually use a camera without the parents’ fear of it being broken.

I am going to keep the camera in the kids’ hands a little bit more. I want to see what damage they can do. So far the camera has hit cement and wet asphalt, and survived. I can’t wait to see what else they do with this camera.

The Pentax WG2 can be purchased at B&H Photo or Amazon.
