The FE-4030 was manufactured 4 years earlier than the WG-3 GPS which is a fairly big gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of the cameras feature the same body design (Compact).

Before delving right into a step-by-step comparison, here is a short synopsis of how the FE-4030 grades against the WG-3 GPS in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Bear in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change depending on the lens you are utilising at that moment. Here is a front view measurement comparison of the FE-4030 vs the WG-3 GPS.

Factoring in dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the FE-4030 and WG-3 GPS is 95 and 90 respectively.

Sometimes, its difficult to visualise the gap in sensor sizes merely by researching specs. The pic underneath will provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the FE-4030 and WG-3 GPS.

As you can plainly see, each of these cameras feature the identical sensor size albeit not the same megapixels. You should count on the Pentax WG-3 GPS to result in more detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop photographs way more aggressively. The more aged FE-4030 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
