Pentax Optio W60
$330.00
Released July, 2008
The Pros:A worthy successor to the well-received W30. Can handle water, snow, dirt and dust like it was nothing - great for outdoor, on-the-go use. Decent 28mm lens with effective wide-angle option.
The Cons:Noticeable barrel distortion, while slight, may not please those looking for the best quality. 720p movie clips are only 15fps resulting in jerky playback.
The Pentax Optio W60 is part of Pentax's "waterproof" line of cameras, offering water-tight performance to 13 feet in addition to a 10 megapixel sensor and internally contained 5x optical zoom (with a max width of 28mm).

The various shooting modes include face detection (with smile and blink detection capabilities), landscape and panorama assist. The movie mode can capture 1280 resolution and works underwater. "Green" mode (Pentax's term for full automatic) picks the best scene mode and settings, for a one-touch, point-and-shoot option. Reviewers describe the image quality as good, although underwater photography requires clear water to produce optimal photos.
