Comments:
The Optio W10 is the follow up to Pentax's waterproof Optio WPi. Cliff Smith sees how it has been improved.

Review Verdict: The W10 takes the unique abilities of the WP and WPi and improves on them. Better image quality, better movies, better handling and faster overall performance make it indisputably a better camera, while the lower launch price makes it even better value fo

Pentax Optio W10 Digital Camera - Review

Comments:
Like a lot of compact cameras from Pentax though, the W10 is full of surprises, both good and bad. It offers unexpected picture-taking quality underwater and on land in daylight settings, but it suffers from some serious deficiencies in low-light. Read on

Review Verdict: Considering that the camera is also certified as JIS Class 5 dustproof, which is the second highest-possible rating, the Pentax Optio W10's relatively svelte construction and smooth, rounded contours are doubly impressive. A Class 5 dustproof rating means

Comments:
Can you take it diving?

Review Verdict: And speaking of batteries, that's where we run into another design dilemma: consumers want their digital cameras as small and handy as possible because that's convenient. However, in order to make them small and handy, manufacturers have to forego standar

Pros: A camera you can take underwater!, Still looks and handles like a regular digital camera, Very simple to use, Costs less than a camera plus a dedicated waterproof case
