Epinions One of the few waterproof digital cameras out there right now.

by  suemccartin,  Jun 18, 2006
Pros: Waterproof to 5ft for 30 minutes, Pentax quality, small size, SD card, good battery
Cons: Battery door a weak spot. Lacks functions of newer cameras. LCD weak in bright sun.
The Bottom Line: Look at this for a beach camera, built like a tank, very durable. Underwater capability is handy.
Review: I have several cameras including a professional digital, I certainly didn't really need another one. The attraction of this camera is its supposed waterproof capabilities and the fact that being newer technology it's a bit faster on the uptake than most ...

Epinions Pentax Optio W10 Digital Camera

by  fisch,  May 30, 2006
Pros: Slim; light-weight; lots of super easy to use modes.
Cons: Wrist strap won't cinch; no lens covering; battery/memory cover.
The Bottom Line: A reasonably priced, easy to use, light-weight digital waterproof camera. A definite buy for vacation photo ops!
Review: Pentax Optio W10 Digital Camera I purchased the Pentax Option W10 Digital Camera to use on our recent trip to the Walt Disney World water park Typhoon Lagoon. Last year I used a disposable water camera and was not impressed with our ...

Epinions Pentax W10: very nice little waterproof digicam w/ video

by  seventronics,  Apr 21, 2006
Pros: large LCD, simple controls, good resolution, SD card, underwater VGA video, non-protruding zoom lens
Cons: no cover for lens opening, no viewfinder, really could use wireless interface
The Bottom Line: Great little, packable, amphibious digicam with excellent VGA video for sports stills & family video. Actually fits shirt pocket! Only downside is the poor audio quality.
Review: The Pentax W10 seems to fill a niche for a waterproof digicam, even submersible (down to 1.5m or about 5ft). It seems to be a worthy lower cost competitor to the Olympus 720SW. Many reviews have noted nice large, bright LCD and easy to use controls ...

Epinions Picture quality is excellent

by  jim-schulman,  Jun 15, 2006
Pros: Picture quality much better than suggested in some reviews. Controls are intuitive and fast.
Cons: Optically coating the glass protecting the lens would improve the picture.
Review: This is just an addendum to the already posted reviews Some web reviews of the W10 claimed it did not produce crisp pictures (others gave it high marks). I took 8 test shots in varying lighting conditions on a tripod, duplicating them with a Powershot ...

Epinions great camera

by  cnadasi,  Jul 16, 2006
Pros: light, easy to use, SD cards are dirt cheap, waterproof
Cons: video sound is limited
Review: I bought this camera as a light, durable waterproof camera for use in the Montana backcountry and on float trips. The photos are great, and it has survived a number of rainstorms, river spray, etc. It takes great video (although the sound is a little ...

Epinions Pentax uses cheap parts, service is abysmal

by  relova,  Jun 17, 2006
Pros: Nice screen but not in daylight, ok performance out of water
Cons: Cheap parts, not sand and waterproof, unscrupulous warantee/service
The Bottom Line: Pentax employs an unscrupulous warantee/service policy. Product does not perform as advertised. Customer Service doesn't care about customers.
Review: 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 pay ...
