"Pentax does not stand behind their ad copy on w10"
Pros: nice screen, performs ok out of the water
Cons: cheap parts, not sand and water proof, Pentax service is a rip-off
Summary: I really wanted to love this camera. I read good reviews. I have a canon digital camera with an underwater housing that works great but is kind of bulky. This slim solution seemed was very seductive plus the price was right. Well you get what you... read more >>

Summary: I'm surprised the editors didn't give this a higher rating. I just finished a 3 month world tour and used my Optio for everything from nightclub shots to daytime landscape shots and sunsets. I'm not sure what the editor meant by it's "poor perform... read more >>

"very good photos from a small, waterproof camera"
Pros: very good photos overall; excellent macro mode; high quality movies
Cons: flash is a little strong when used as fill
Summary: I'm pleased with the quality of the photos this camera takes. In terms of image quality, the movies are very close to camcorder quality, although the sound is mono rather than stereo. As another reviewer noted, the display is somewhat washed out wh... read more >>
