Quite simply the Optio WP is one of only a handful of fully waterproof digital cameras currently on the market. It spares you the added expense of a separate waterproof housing and in terms of image quality it gives many “normal” compacts a run for...

The Optio WP is the perfect choice if you want to take photos underwater

No housing required for underwater shooting. Quality of underwater footage is quite good for an inexpensive camera.

Limited in manual settings. Slightly washed out colors. Slight distortion in lens.

Looks, waterproof, advanced functions, ‘geen mode’

Low light focus, lack of lens cover, battery shape

Gripes, well a few. For such a well-designed camera it really could do with an AF-assist system in low light conditions. Shoot in close quarters and the macro will go down to 1cm. In these conditions with a group of friends the camera simply refused to...

Waterproof ; Take-anywhere size and design ; Broad range of user-friendly features ; Built-in help system ; Solid image quality

Waterproof to only 1.5m and for only 30 mins ; Doesn't float ; Mediocre autofocus and speed ; Well built but not rugged for heavy outdoor use

Overall, the Pentax Optio WP did a decent job capturing sharp, well-exposed images with accurate colour reproduction and a fair amount of detail. There were some exceptions due to poor autofocus and an auto white balance gone awry, but in general, we...

The Pentax Optio WP is a true 'point & shoot' digital camera. You can't adjust too much yourself, but most users certainly won't object to that. It is a straightforward digital camera, easy to use and operate. And that is what the user wants. The...

Vibrant, appealing color, Generally good skin tones, Auto white balance handles a wide range of lighting reasonably well, Good lens, good lens sharpness with minimal aberration, Attractive camera styling, Waterproof body suitable for splashing around...

Below average exposure accuracy, tended to consistent underexposure, Below average startup, focusing and shot to shot speed, Noisy images at ISO 200 or higher, ISO 400 is unacceptable even at 4x6 inch print size, Contrast is a little high, tends to...

Built into the Pentax Optio WP is a 3x, 6.3-18.9mm Pentax lens, the equivalent of a 38-114mm lens on a 35mm camera. Maximum aperture ranges from f/3.3 to f/4, depending on the zoom setting, and the aperture is automatically adjusted by the camera....

Waterproof to 1.5m/5 feet deep!, Reasonably compact, Non-telescoping, protected lens, Pentax scene modes

Noticeable noise at all ISO settings, Color shift at higher ISO settings, Slow access to exposure controls, No optical viewfinder, Focus problems in low light

The Optio WP's image quality and performance are nothing special. But that's not what this camera is about. If you're spend a lot of time outdoors in the rain, snow, or dusty conditions, there's nothing like it. The camera is easy to carry, the...

Fun camera ; Waterproof ; Ease of use

Picture quality ; Shutter lag ; Limited flash range

The Pentax Optio WP is a fun digital camera. The fact that it is waterproof means you can take it just about anywhere and not worry about water getting in. Picture quality is not great out of the water so this really is a camera for fun at the beach...
