Pentax K-01 and Optio WG-2 cameras now available
Pentax has been teasing us with its trio of cameras for what seems like an eternity. It's been long enough that we've actually had playtime with the new mirrorless flagship, the K-01. That chunky retro body will turn some heads in the street, so any fashionistas can now pick it up. It'll be winging its way to stores at the same time as its extreme-living WG-2 and WG-2 GPS, which are perfect for recording your Bear Grylls routine. The former will set you back $750 for the body, or $900 with a 40mm kit lens, whilst the Optio WG-2 is $350 or $400 if you want one with built-in GPS.
Magellan's rough'n'tough Explorist 110 available today for $130
Magellan's eXplorist 110 is the sort of ruggedized GPS unit that the Bear Grylls crowd can get behind. It's the new waterproof entry-level model that's got chunky rubber buttons and GPS accuracy to around 15 feet. Pre-loaded with a world map, it'll consume two AA batteries for an 18 hour charge and can be hung around your neck with a lanyard. You'll even be able to set a breadcrumb trail for trying to find your car in a busy lot. It'll set you back $130 and it's available to grab from the company's online store as we speak.
