Durability: The Pentax WG-1 VS. The Sony Cyber-Shot TX-10

Article Category: Arts and Crafts

Author Name: Tyler Tebbs

What model is the most rugged compact digital camera, the Pentax Optio WG-1 or the Sony Cyber-Shot TX-10? We will focus mainly on the abilities/components of each of these compact cameras that allow them to compete not only against each other, but their other competitors. Weatherproofing, shockproofing, waterproofing, and dustproofing are what truly make them the top two most durable compact digital cameras on the market. Let's find out which one of the two can withstand mother nature best.

The Pentax WG-1 is Constructed with reinforced polycarbonate plastic and aluminum accents. The Sony Cyber-Shot TX-10 is made of aluminum (two covers that hide ports and a border around the LCD Screen are plastic). There is still a lot of dispute as to what is a better material to use. It seems that amongst photographers, more are leaning towards polycarbonate. You can choose which material you think is better. A lot of people like an aluminum frame because it gives a very sleek design to the camera frame. Unlike the aluminum body, the polycarbonate is not quite as catchy. However, a lot of people like the plainer look, so the look is obviously personal opinion.

Having a waterproof camera will not only allow you to take amazing shots underwater but it is obviously an insurance against accidental contact with water . The difference in waterproof design between these two cameras is significant. The Pentax can be submerged and take stunning photos up to 33 feet. On the other hand, the TX-10 can take quality pictures while being submerged up to 16 feet. So the upper hand definitely goes to the Pentax Optio WG-1 in regards to waterproofing.

When considering the ruggedness of a camera, it is crucial to see how well a camera will withstand extreme weather conditions. The WG-1 is protected against cold temperatures of minus 10 degrees Celsius (14 degrees F), allowing you to shoot photos during your winter activities. The TX-10 matches the temperature protection of the WG-1. With this we can conclude the two are equal when dealing with weather.

Both the TX-10 and the WG-1 come equally equipped to withstand the dryer, dustier climates; being completely dustproof. The WG-1 and TX-10 also have similar shockproof designs, easily withstanding falls of up to 5 ft. So dealing with weather proofing, dust proofing, and shock proofing the Pentax Optio WG-1 and the Sony Cyber-Shot have very similar components, making both cameras quite competitive when determining the most durable digital camera. In regards to a camera's ability to hold against a lot of pressure the Pentax Optio WG-1 has been tested to take up to 220 pounds of pressure without breaking.

So let's finalize the comparison between these two cameras and award a winner. The Pentax Optio WG-1 is better waterproofed than the TX-10, being able to withstand more than twice the depth. When it comes to Weatherproofing, shockproofing, and dustproofing, the two cameras are equal. However, the WG-1 is the only compact digital camera that has been tested to withstand 220 pounds of pressure. With all of these aspects considered, it is clear that despite the fact that both cameras are pretty durable, the Pentax WG-1 is obviously the best camera when determining which camera will hold up best against the elements.
