The WG-3 GPS was released 3 years later than the T99 and that is quite a large difference as far as technology is concerned. Both of the cameras come with different body type with the Pentax WG-3 GPS being a Compact camera and the Sony T99 being a Ultracompact camera.

Before delving in to a more detailed comparison, below is a short overview of how the WG-3 GPS scores versus the T99 with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Take into account, the weight of an ILC will change based on the lens you are utilising at that moment. Below is the front view measurement comparison of the WG-3 GPS against the T99.

Considering dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the WG-3 GPS and T99 is 90 and 96 respectively.

Sometimes, it is very difficult to envision the gap between sensor measurements merely by looking at a spec sheet. The visual here will offer you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the WG-3 GPS and T99.

Clearly, each of the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same resolution. You can expect the Pentax WG-3 GPS to give you extra detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution can also let you crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The younger WG-3 GPS will have an advantage in sensor innovation.
