Pentax Optio W80

Jul 6, 2009 Cameras, Underwater Cameras

The PENTAX Optio W80’s waterproof design withstands depths of up to 16 feet (5 meters) to protect from rain and spills, as well as allowing full underwater photos and video for up to two hours. Its rugged, shockproof design protects it against drops of up to 3.3 feet to protect the camera from hard use and occasional spills. In addition, it allows the camera to be used in sub-freezing temperatures of 14 degrees Fahrenheit (-10 degrees Celsius), ideal for cold weather activities such as skiing and snowmobiling.
