I've owned two of these cameras. Same thing happened to both - the screen stopped working first, then the whole camera stopped. I always locked the tab on the bottom, never dropped it. from Digitaltrends.com I bought a Pentax Optio W30 online. This is a waterproof camerasubmersible upto 10 feet for... from Cnet.com I have had this camera for four years now, and i still love it. I've never had a problem with it leaking underwater (one of my innitial fears), the buttons still all work, it turns on and it ready to use in 3 seconds, it is very small (but not too small), and can go a whole day on one battery as long as you turn it off in between photos (tested in spain, portugal,poland, and prague. The bad things: the flash washes pictures out more than some of the newer camera and it tends to take fuzzy pictures if you dont have a steady hand. from Amazon.com i used this camera maybe 5 times, very careful with it. it broke somehow while taking water photos and i sent it back for warranty, i got no satisfaction because" the waterproof seals met their specifications...." but my camera was flooded with water, so i dont know how they can justify that claim. from Amazon.com This is really a great camera. It is very small, yet easy to handle with a large screen, waterproofing, high resolution video, etc. You can read the specs and see what it is capable of doing so I will tell you about my issues with it. from Amazon.com I like the features of the camera and the ease of use. The body is small and the display is of good quality. I bought the camera because a family member of mine has the W10 where the picture quality is excellent. This camera is very disappointing in that the picture quality is sub-par. from Amazon.com This is my third Pentax Optio. The W10 was my first. from Amazon.com I bought this camera because the earlier W10 model that 2 of my family members own shoots fantastic quality picures. This one on the other hand has terrible quality pictures that are tinted with a green hue. from Amazon.com I purchased the Pentax Optio W10 this past July because of its waterproof capabilities. I was happy with the camera's performance until, less than a month after purchase, the flash function stopped working. from Amazon.com The Pentax W20 is an excellent compact sports camera. Great menu, easy to use, you can use it in the water and it delivers excellent pictures for its size. from Amazon.com
