With its moulded fascia and in-your-face extreme sports styling, the
WG-1 certainly manages to stand out from the tough compact crowd. Image
quality isn’t bad either, especially when used on Auto Picture mode. And
while the zoom control can prove a bit fiddly and imprecise, it remains
a fairly simple camera to operate overall. Perhaps most importantly, in

cameras currently on the market. If that’s your primary consideration
then the WG-1 deserves to be at, or at least near, the top of your
short-list.
