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 Olympus XZ-2 iHS, which was introduced in December 2012 is a Small Sensor Compact camera with a 12.0MP 1/1.7-inch sensor. There is only 7 months difference between WG-3 and XZ-2 iHS so we are expecting this to be a fair comparison regarding age and technology level.

#9 out of 76 Waterproof cameras with an overall score of 50 whereas Olympus XZ-2 iHS is ranked
#5 out of 262 Small Sensor Compact cameras with an overall score of 60.
