Comments about Pentax Pentax Optio W80 Digital Camera (Blue):
Bought this product to specifically use on our vacation at Sea World, Aquattica and Discovery Cove. This camera was in salt water for 8 days straight and we had no issues. The under water shots of the family were great. Pictures of the under water marine life held their colour. Even everyday use (out of the water) was good, clear vivid images. I think this is a great all round camera
