“The Pentax Optio W10 provides a tough package ideal for the more active among you, though the plastic body may not live up to the rough and tumble of a drop from a great height when mountain climbing or the impact of a rugby scrum.

However, image quality is more than adequate for most snappers’ requirements and the fact that you can go swimming/snorkeling with this camera or take it to the Sahara desert and not worry about water or sand getting into it, all adds to the attraction.

The Pentax Optio W10 provides a great all-weather package being both JIS Class 8 waterproofed and Class 5 dust proofed”

Pocket-lint thinks this digital camera might be for you if you spend a lot of time at the beach or near water. This quote is from their Pentax Optio W10 Review, just posted.

The Optio W10 sets the PENTAX standard for waterproof digital with 6.0 megapixels and a reflection-free LCD that offers optimal viewing in outdoor settings. This little beauty features JIS Class 8 waterproof and JIS Class 5 dustproof ratings.
