Pentax Optio WS80 Waterproof Digicam
August 23rd, 2009 by admin
You would think that Pentax Imaging would have shipped its new palm-sized Optio WS80 waterproof digital camera in time for Summer vacation, but no, this durable and “dunkable” camera won’t be available until September, for $249.95. It comes in black with orange accents, or white with purple accents, and features a 10 megapixel CCD, a 5X internal optical zoom lens, and a 2.7 inch LCD with 230,000 dot resolution. The Optio W80 has a waterproof design that can withstand depths up to five feet (1.5 meters), and it captures underwater photos and as well as 720p HD video at 30 frames per second.
Additional Pentax Optio W80 features include:
• Fast Face Detection technology sees up to 32 faces in as little as 0.03 of a second for easy portrait photography.
• Smile Capture automatically releases the shutter when a subject smiles and Blink Detection alerts the photographer if the subject’s eyes are closed during the exposure.
• PENTAX Shake Reduction (SR) technology features Pixel Track SR, Digital SR, and Movie SR, stabilizing your images and video for beautiful, blur-free results.
• PENTAX Auto Picture mode automatically selects from eight shooting modes for beautiful images in any setting.
• Sensitivity up to ISO 6400 boosts shutter speeds to freeze subject movement for blur-free images even in low lighting.
