Penax's Waterproof and Feature Rich New Camera!

Deciding to buy a digital camera can be a very difficult task. Digital camcorders can often take still shots, and most cellphones have a built in camera. It seems that there is little place in today’s society, for the traditional digital camera. Pentax refuses to accept this trend, and fights back with the Optio W10, an incredible new addition to its line of cameras. Pentax has listened to the average consumer, and figured out the perfect combination, for the perfect product: high functionality, with a low price tag. You can judge the result for yourself.
One of the most important features in a digital camera is the amount of megapixels that it offers, and Pentax doesn’t disappoint; the Optio W10 has 6 of them! Besides this, the Optio W10 is also waterproof, so don’t worry about having soaking the camera on your vacation in Hawaii. The LCD screen that shows a preview of the shot is an impressive 15,000 pixel 2.5” screen, so your pictures will look as beautiful as ever. The camera can also take video, at a very decent 30 frames per second, and it will saved in Quicktime format. It features a bunch of standard shot adjustments, such as color balancing, and sensitivity. The camera comes with 10 MB’s worth of built in memory, but this is obviously not enough for ANYONE. The SD slot offers you the opportunity to upgrade to as much memory as you want, so don’t worry. The whole package is around $300, which is more than fair, to say the least.

This is one of the best deals on a digital camera that I have ever seen. Many cameras use the waterproof feature as a gimmick, and sell the camera for a lot of money just because of it. Pentax offers this, and so much more for a very competitively low price. I particularly nice feature is that videos are automatically in Quicktime format. Since so many applications use this format, there’s less screwing around and converting to another format. All in all, an extremely well designed and priced product. Very recommended!
