Here we are comparing two cameras with different body types: Canon G16, which was introduced in November 2013 is a Small Sensor Compact camera with a 12.0MP 1/1.7-inch sensor whereas Pentax WG-3, which was introduced in July 2013 is a Waterproof camera with a 16.0MP 1/2.3-inch sensor. There is only 4 months difference between G16 and WG-3 so we are expecting this to be a fair comparison regarding age and technology level.
Fortunately, you can't go wrong with any of these cameras as we rank them amongst Top 10 cameras in their classes. Canon G16 is ranked
#3 out of 262 Small Sensor Compact cameras with an overall score of 59 whereas Pentax WG-3 is ranked
#9 out of 77 Waterproof cameras with an overall score of 49.
Here is a brief look at the main features of the Canon G16 and Pentax WG-3 before getting into our more detailed comparison.
