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 Sony TX20, which was introduced in February 2012 is a Ultracompact camera with a 16.0MP 1/2.3-inch sensor. There is 17 months difference between WG-3 and TX20 so we don't expect to see a huge technology difference between these two cameras but it would still give an advantage to younger WG-3, 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
#6 out of 83 Waterproof cameras with an overall score of 40 whereas Sony TX20 is ranked
#6 out of 155 Ultracompact cameras with an overall score of 36.
Here is a brief look at the main features of the Pentax WG-3 and Sony TX20 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 Sony TX20 compare and hopefully end up with enough arguments to decide which one is better for you.
