Imaging Resource Reviews Pentax Optio 33WR

Mark Goldstein | Digital Compact Cameras | March 31, 2004 | 1 Comments

Pentax Optio 33WRImaging Resource have posted their review of the Pentax Optio 33WR, a compact 3-megapixel camera with a 2.8x optical zoom and a weather resistant case.

“Able to withstand an accidental dunk in the pool or an impromptu rain shower, the Pentax Optio 33WR is a new addition to the Optio line, and has a water resistant rating equivalent to JIS Class 5 and 7. What this spec-speak means is that, although the camera is not intended for underwater use, it can survive being splashed, dropped into shallow water (but quickly retrieved), and washed lightly in a sink. Best of all, it means you don’t have to worry about ruining the camera if you get stuck in the rain.”

One of my coworkers bought this camera last fall shortly after it came out. He took some photos and printed one at 8x10 (using the store's optical photo printing process) for the store to use as a sample print. It turned out so well (the photo was directly out of the camera -- no photoshopping) that he printed it at 11x14 and again at 12x18. We were all amazed by how well the image held up. The lens is *amazingly* sharp. The camera's macro mode is amazing, too. You can get down to .1 inch! I'm considering getting it for myself as a convenience camera.
