Priced at $349.95 (converted RM1050) the new WG-3 GPS is available in a choice of purple or green. The WG-3 is available in black or orange for a price of $299.95 (converted RM900). Both models will be available at retailers nationwide and online in March 2013. The WG-10 will be available in mid-April in red for $179.95 (converted RM540).

My Opinion : Spec pretty decent. Just like normal compact camera at least with addition of Crushproof, Waterproof, Shockproof, Dustproof and Freezeproof. I will go for WG-3 if I need one and no, I dont need the GPS.
