Here we are comparing two cameras with different body types: Pentax WG-3, which was introduced in July 2013 is a Waterproof camera with a 16.0MP 1/2.3-inch sensor whereas Fujifilm X30, which was introduced in August 2014 is a Small Sensor Compact camera with a 12.0MP 2/3-inch sensor. There is 13 months difference between WG-3 and X30 so we don't expect to see a huge technology difference between these two cameras but it would still give an advantage to younger X30, especially in sensor tech.
Fortunately, you can't go wrong with any of these cameras as we rank them amongst Top 10 cameras in their classes. Pentax WG-3 is ranked
#9 out of 77 Waterproof cameras with an overall score of 49 whereas Fujifilm X30 is ranked
#2 out of 262 Small Sensor Compact cameras with an overall score of 61.
Here is a brief look at the main features of the Pentax WG-3 and Fujifilm X30 before getting into our more detailed comparison.
Let's read on in the following sections in order to better understand in detail how the Pentax WG-3 and Fujifilm X30 compare and hopefully end up with enough arguments to decide which one is better for you.
