PENTAX OPTIO W60 WATERPROOF DIGITAL CAMERA PREVIEW

The Pentax OPTIO W60 waterproof camera can operate up to 13 feet underwater for two hours and at extreme temperatures well below freezing.

The 5X optical zoom refraction lens never protrudes from the Optio W60, yet it covers focal lengths from 5mm to 25mm. This range allows the camera to capture a wide variety of scenes including expansive landscapes, architecture, and group photos in confined spaces as well as close-up telephoto shots of subjects.

In addition to the JIS Class 8 waterproofing standard, the camera is JIS Class 5 dustproof against dirt, sand and dust and operates in extreme temperatures as cold as 14 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 10 degrees Celsius).

The PENTAX Optio W60 digital camera include a High-Quality Movie mode with HD resolution up to 1280 x 720 pixels as well as Auto Picture mode, fast Face Recognition, Smile Capture, Blink Detection, an Underwater Movie mode, High Sensitivity Digital SR mode that automatically adjusts the sensitivity up to ISO 6400, and an LCD monitor with a 170 degree wide-angle view and Anti-Reflection coating to reduce glare.

The PENTAX Optio W60 will be available in July 2008 in a choice of two colors: Ocean Blue and Silver.
