Camera makers have found they need to differentiate their new products by appealing to niche markets. Pentax is taking its compact Optio W60, an update of its waterproof cameras, even deeper underwater to find customers.
Serious photographers can take the 10-megapixel camera as deep as 13 feet. Once down there, they can use the camera’s zoom lens, which increases five times, from 28 millimeters to 140 millimeters, for a range of photos. Since the zooming mechanism is sealed inside the Optio W60’s diminutive body — 3.9 by 2.2 by 1 inches — it is also suitable for use near a mud-covered child and in a 14-degree chill.
A high-sensitivity setting takes advantage of whatever light penetrates the murk, and as quarry slither by, the action can be captured on 1280- by 720-pixel video. Two images can be stitched together side by side right in the camera, useful when shooting sweeping landscapes.
