TrustedReviews reviews the Pentax Optio WP waterproof digital camera. Note – this is a “waterproof” camera, not a “water resistent camera” – which means that the camera will actually survive under water at up to certain depths for a certain amount of time. The Optio WP is capable of being a little more than a meter under water for 30+ minutes without having any problems. Does the camera actually work as advertised? Here’s the verdict:

Quite simply the Optio WP is one of only a handful of fully waterproof digital cameras currently on the market. It spares you the added expense of a separate waterproof housing and in terms of image quality it gives many “normal” compacts a run for their money, while blowing disposable underwater cameras clean out of the water. There are several niggles, but these are off-set by its ‘go anywhere’ practicality.
