Pentax Optio W10

Can Pentax's W series waterproof camera make a splash with it's images?

Review Verdict: Offering weather and waterproof functionality, Pentax has produced a stylish and durable model that is sure to appeal to all-terrain photographers looking to shoot in the great outdoors. However, a sluggish performance and lacklustre images makes the W10

Pentax Optio W10

Comments:
Now for something special: a waterproof camera that does not need a special underwater case. By "waterproof" I do not mean just "splashproof" or "weatherproof," but truly waterproof. You can take this camera underwater. And not just dunking it a little, b

Review Verdict: The W10 has limited onboard editing functionality. You can resize, trim, apply one of nine filters, adjust brightess, eliminate red-eye, and add a frame. You can also add voice to any image, or record voice memos until memory is full

Neither rain, nor sleet, nor snow, nor sand, nor mud, nor dust will stop the 6-megapixel Pentax Optio W10. This postal-worker-worthy camera is specially sealed to prevent damage from the elements, completely submersible in water to a depth of 4.9 feet for

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
