Pentax Optio W10 review at Popular Photography
Posted by Steve on May 12th, 2006
A review of the Pentax Optio W10 digital camera is available at Popular Photography. The Optio W10 is a compact 6 megapixel camera with a 2.5 inch LCD screen and a 3x optical zoom. The Optio W10 is waterproof up to a depth of 5 feet, and because the camera body is sealed you don’t have to worry about sand and dirt getting into the camera if used on land.
The review results:
“Although there is an ocean of 6MP compacts on the market at the moment, not many are capable of handling the wet and the weather like the Pentax Optio W10. If you want a seaworthy compact camera, you really can’t go wrong with this one.
What’s Hot:
Compact digicam is waterproof to 5 feet without any additional housing.
Video mode of 640×480 at 30 fps with sound
Zoom works while recording video
What’s Not:
LCD screen is tough to see underwater when the sun is overhead
No manual aperture or shutter controls
2-step shut and lock is easy to forget before submersion”
