Pentax Optio W80

Waterproof, shockproof, coldproof... This is probably the most safe camera in the world. I doubt many people would want to test whether the camera truly is so protected so it can withstand all that terrorizing the manufacturer claims it's protected off, but it gives a sense of relief when you know there is virtually nothing that can destroy your camera.

Pentax Optio W80 is a 12 megapixel camera with 5x optical zoom, and you can dive with it and take pictures of the colorful sea life, at a price of a regular family camera, it's almost too good to be true. It is compact camera, quite small, easy to use and carry, but yet, it has big 2.5" LCD display, which provides quality preview.

It can go up to 5 meters under water, and can withstand drop from 1 meter, and temperatures of –10�C. This is a camera designed to use in special circumstances, but it's meant to be used by everyone. Sure there are other cameras that can go underwater, etc., but in most cases those are very expensive and not suitable for the non-professionals. This is the camera you can give to a kid, and not be afraid it will be broken after just few seconds.

The main accent on this camera is put on it's safety, but behind all of that, this is still a very nice digital camera. The 12 megapixels are even way too much for a regular user, although they never make much of a difference. But, even though practically useless, bigger is always better, right? The manufacturer claims this is a camera that supports ISO of 64 up to 6400. The reality is somehow different, at the higher ISO's there is a huge noise, and those pictures are practically useless, but at the lower ISO's, it gives a good results. Also, the camera provides the possibility of recording a HD video, which is a great addition, especially since we can make underwater videos with it. The camera has triple anti-shock protection, which shouldn't cause surprises, knowing the "hardcore" character of the camera. The picture quality is great, very crisp and detailed, but you get that in almost all of the newer digital cameras, anyhow. The real reason why someone should go for this camera, and not other, of course is the physical strength of this camera. If you don't need all those "proofs", than you should probably search for another camera, with the same or better image quality, but for a lower price.
