Pentax Underwater Digicam
By Shutterbug Staff
January 11, 2005 — If you’re an underwater photo fan, or just like to photograph in all sorts
of weather, or when surfing, etc. you are probably going to be interested in
the Pentax Optio WP. This small, 5-megapixel camera has a 3X zoom, a 2.0 inch
low reflection LCD, 10MB built-in memory, quick start-up, a nine point autofocus
system and captures movies at 30 frames per second in JPEG format.
Every seam in the camera is protected with rubber sealant and an interlocking
design to resist what Pentax dubs “the enemies of all electronics.”
A special water-tight locking mechanism fully secures the camera’s rechargeable
Lithium-ion battery and SD memory card slot. The camera is slated to sell for
less than four hundred U.S. dollars.
