pentax waterproof camera November 30, 2008
Dr. Wayne M. Ahr (TX)
Small size, waterproof to 10 feet, dust resistant, relatively easy to operate. All in all a good buy for outdoor activity. Extensive menu for different operations is a bit of a time sink to learn but many options make for better flexibility after going up the learning curve.

picked it for fly fishing/rafting pics. drowned 2 cameras this past summer so seemed like a good idea. being able to take pics of fish underwater is too fun, as well. no problems with any leakage when dunked all afternoon taking underwater pics in a stream. I enlarged several of the better pics to 11x14 for kicks and to see the quality and was impressed. fun camera. the macro is outstanding too.
a little less accurate/slower on the auto-focus when up close underwater. with bubbles and debris sometimes present, i realize it's demanding situation for a p/s camera though. not a complaint just something to be aware of when using it. selecting the tighter focusing zone option seemed to help allot, as well for this specific situation.
a spare battery or two is a good idea. about 200+ pics w/ fair amount of flash use and being dunked in a cold river allot of the time.
again, fun camera.
 Buy an extra battery November 6, 2008

I bought this camera to take on a week long (no electricity) dory trip down the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon. It took great pictures and was lots of fun to have going through the white water rapids. However, I guess because it only has an LCD display (no viewfinder) its battery only lasted through about 150 pictures. I wish I had taken an extra (charged) battery with me on the trip. You can see the pictures here (along with the ones I took with my Nikon D80) http://flickr.com/photos/lastwyf/sets/72157608374268512/
Love These Cameras September 10, 2008

I have now owned 4 cameras in this series and loved them. The first, the original Optio WP was resold, I broke the second one at an amusement park and bought two of these for my wife and for me.
They are waterproof! I've taken them into pools and the ocean and they take excellent shots. After loosing two digital cameras to quick dips in the lake these put all my fears to rest. I can use them in and near water without fear. Some of the underwater shots I used as cards and my 5 year old son has taken some excellent underwater photos of us.
This model has 10 megapixels, stability control, face recognition and a bunch of new features matching other digitals that aren't waterproof. It is a huge feature leap over the W30 but is also larger.
I love these and can recommend it without reservation.
well pleased August 27, 2008

have used the Pentax W60 for several weeks now, and have been pleased with results... while not the picture quality of an SLR, it produces pictures that I am more than pleased with, as well as those on the receiving end... my requirements was something that i could hang around my neck, under a life jacket, pull out while paddling Class IV and V whitewater, point and shoot... it needed to be light, have good optical zoom, be WATERPROOF, and not require a bunch of fiddling around with... ... this camera does all that... having a wider field of vision (than competition), and macro capabilities have been plusses... maybe those higher end pros and knowledgeable hobbyist will ask for more, but for the avid boater, climber, hiker, and general outdoors enthusiast this is the real deal... only thing wishing for - is write time to disk could be bit faster, but shooting at highest quality level - could drop pic quality, however knew about write time up front, and enjoy being able to blow up and crop... uses standard SDLC, according to Pentax Support - higher quality level II or III cards, will result in only minimally faster write times... have gotten a couple extra batteries for longer trips
