Steves Digicams have reviewed the Pentax W30, a waterproof digital camera offering 7.1 megapixels, 3x optical zoom and two new Shake Reduction modes.

“When one sees the Optio W30 (or any of the “W” series models for that matter) one of the first questions asked is “how can it take pictures underwater?” With a quick flip of the battery/memory card door, you can see how this is accomplished. There’s a rubber gasket inside the door that blocks out any precipitation. Just remember, even though this camera is capable of capturing images underwater, the JIS Class 8 waterproof rating has a limitation of 3 meters (about 10 feet) for no more than 2 hours at a time.”
