    if youre buying a new camera I would’nt go for the Sony TX5 as he said.
    I would wait another month for the Pentax Optio Wg-1 you’ll be amazed by it !
    It seems the best camera ever for me !!

    @shadowblack1987 I think it performs better than crap. But I agree with your basic assessment. I wish the image quality and video quality were a lot better.

    Looks cool, performs like crap.

    The Pentax is worth buying. It will definitely handle drops better than a normal camera. That said, my favorite waterproof shockproof camera in the past year has been the Sony TX5. Check my video and review for that camera and also check PhotographyREVIEW for my comprehensive waterproof camera guide – then make up your mind about what camera to buy. And don’t be so clumsy! :-)

  11. alexaandfriends1 says:

    @PhotographyREVIEW see im clumsy n ive dropped my other cams before or my friends have they dont brake but 1 of them the top like started to pop open but idk i just wanna buy this camera realllly really bad n i wana no if its worth buying it

  12. PhotographyREVIEW says:

    @alexaandfriends1 Waterproof also means dust and sandproof. As for dropping it – dropping a camera isn’t a good idea, anyway. But having some shockproofing means you have a bit of protection if it slips out of your hand. I have tested this feature with shockproof cameras and I’ve yet to damage one from dropping. I can’t say the same for non-rugged cameras. Usually a real drop means they’re done.

    @RabbidGastroPictures Must have just mispronounced it. I like all the waterproof point-and-shoot cameras. But my favorite right now – and ever – is the Sony TX5. Check for my video of that camera and also look for the full review on PhotographyREVIEW :-)

  17. RabbidGastroPictures says:

    @PhotographyREVIEW I was just referring to one part where you accidentally said 8 gigabit instead of gigabyte, made me laugh, good video though, I’ve been thinking of getting this camera cuz it looks cool.

  18. PhotographyREVIEW says:

    @RabbidGastroPictures Huh?

  19. RabbidGastroPictures says:

    8 gigabit :D

    @AlterEgoTrip – as with many cameras, the solution to cold-battery failure (a problem with the battery, not the camera) may be to pack it next to one or more disposable handwarmers. I’ve stuffed my faithful old W-10 in a foam can holder with an opening cut out and a handwarmer and it works reasonably well with a bit of tinkering. In really extreme conditions you may be stuck with building an external battery supply using lithium cells.

    WTF??? this gets a charger AND a AV cable????? but not with a K-X???

  22. PhotographyREVIEW says:

    @domepira Sorry about your W90. However, any waterproof camera can leak just as a lens can break or an LCD can fail. It’s a risk you take with all waterproof cameras. Check the user reviews on PhotographyREVIEW and you’ll find that they all have some percentage of failure. If you want a safer alternative buy a non-waterproof digital camera and a waterproof housing.

  23. domepira says:

    My Pentax W90 stopped working after 3 months. is a lie that is waterproof.
    I opened and is full of water inside.
    service call to ask about the warranty and was told that mo can do anything with a camera with water inside and have no international warranty.
    buy the Olympus.
    I have pictures of how water came out inside the camera.

    @PhotographyREVIEW hey thanks but i have one more question
    i recently bought the canon powershot SX120 IS and i got it for $159.99 but i was thinking about returning it and getting the pentax optio w90
    what do you think i should i do?
    and i have a black smudge on my canon screen and i cleaned the screen and lens so does that mean someone dropped it :) thanks :)

    @slipknot1566 The LED lights are for closeup photography and yes, you can use them to brighten up your photos.
