It’s great to know that you don’t need tons of cash to own a waterproof camera. The Pentax Optio WS80 is a medium-range waterproof camera that has decent specs for its money’s worth.
The Optio WS80 is lightweight and can easily fit any bag or pocket. It has a 10.0 megapixel CCD sensor with a 5x zoom lens. More importantly the Pentax waterproof camera also takes HD videos at 1280×720 30 frames per second recording.
You can take the WS80 under 1.5 meters water for 2 hours so this is a perfect snorkling camera. Pentax says that after use you must rinse the camera under tap water.
The WS80 is available in a range of colours including the black with orange stripes seen here, as well as white with pink stripes, white with black stripes and a rather appalling yellow with green stripes.
If you’re looking for underwater camera that is reliable and cheap then get the Pentax Optio WS80.
