Product Description

 
If you love to go on vacation by the beach, the Pentax Optio W30 digital camera may be just the fit for you. This 7.1 megapixel camera features a great 3x optical zoom lens and bright 2.5-inch LCD screen. It also has an integrated face detection mode and digital shake reduction. Most importantly, though, the Pentax W30 is housed in a waterproof body that can be immersed in up to 10 feet of water for up to two hours. The camera also has a JIS Class 5 dustproof standard, making it perfect for the wet oceans as well as the sandy beaches.
