Pentax WG-90 Black Kit

Pentax WG-90 Black Kit - waterproof to 14 metres

Travel photos can include the beach, a sudden shower or a cold mountain path, and the Pentax WG-90 Black Kit is a compact camera rated for use underwater to 14 metres. It’s made for travel, family moments and everyday pictures when you’d rather carry one camera than a bag of lenses. Its rugged construction is also rated to withstand a fall of up to 1.6 metres, resist dust and operate in temperatures down to -10°C, so changing conditions needn’t end the day’s picture-taking. Take it snorkelling to photograph underwater scenes, bring it along on a family outing where a bump or splash is possible, or keep it ready for everyday travel snapshots. A built-in lens covers a useful range from wide views to closer subjects, while dedicated scene options take care of different kinds of pictures. There’s Full HD video for short clips too. This is a straightforward, self-contained camera: the lens stays on the camera, and the body is made for places where you might think twice about taking delicate equipment. Its black finish keeps the look simple, while the compact format makes it easy to pack alongside the rest of your travel essentials.

What it does well

• 16-megapixel CMOS sensor: The sensor records detailed stills, with sensitivity from ISO 125 to 6400 for a range of lighting conditions.
• 5x optical zoom: The lens covers 28–140mm equivalent, moving from broad landscape views to tighter framing without changing lenses.
• Extended zoom range: Intelligent Zoom reaches approximately 36x, giving you more framing options for subjects farther away.
• Scene and tone options: Choose from 25 scene modes, including Auto Picture, Landscape and Underwater, plus six Image Tone modes for different looks.
• Handheld Night Snap: This mode combines multiple exposures to create a clearer night-time image, useful when you’re taking pictures without a tripod.
• Full HD movie recording: Record video at 30 frames per second for family moments and travel clips.
• Six macro LEDs: The built-in lights illuminate close-up subjects, adding light around small details when the scene is dim.

In the hand

The WG-90 measures 122.5 × 61.5 × 29.5mm, and its ready-to-use weight is 193g. That’s a compact, light package to slip into a travel bag or carry on an outing. The dimensions also give you a useful sense of its footprint when you’re planning space for it alongside your other essentials. Its simple all-in-one format keeps the camera and lens together as one unit.
