I brought my Pentax WG-1 Camera to Greece's Ionian Islands this summer and was very impressed with it's picture quality, myriad of functions and supreme durability. Whether I was using the panorama feature to capture expansive vistas or taking underwater photos, the Pentax WG-1 never let me down - it is easy to use, has more features than you can even imagine, and most importantly, takes excellent pictures. See attached photo for example of an unedited photo from the Pentax WG-1. I'll post a couple others as well to check out.
