Pentax has released three new compacts. From the top, we have the Optio WS80 waterproof compact. More of a lifestyle camera, it is not quite as resilient as its sister model, the W80 (though is still certified to depths of up to 1.5 meters for two hours). The 10MP camera features an SP (Super Protect) coating on its 35-175mm zoom lens. It also has a 2.7 inch LCD and offers interval shooting, HD video recording and a digital panorama mode.
The Pentax Optio WS80 is a new water- and dust- proof compact camera. The WS80 also features a 10 megapixel sensor, 5x zoom lens and HD movie recording, and currently costs less than £200 / $225. Aimed at all the members of the family, can the Pentax WS80 survive? Mark Goldstein found out...
