Pentax Optio W60 Review
Although there are other waterproof cameras available in the market today, the Pentax Optio W60 is better than its competitors. You can take it to a depth of 4m without worrying that it might become damaged.
The Optio W60 is not only ideal for water activities but also the perfect companion when riding skis, snow mobiles, and bobsleds. The W60 is designed to sustain sub-zero temperatures.
The main advantage of the Pentax Optio W60 over its rivals is that it allows you to take pictures long range as well as close up. With various shooting modes, you can capture spectacular landscapes or architecture in wide angles even in bright sunlight.
Using Advanced Face Reduction technology, the Pentax Optio W60 allows you to capture up to 32 faces. At smile capture mode, the camera detects the right moment your subject smiles before automatically releasing the shutter while blink detection takes your subject’s picture again when their eyes are closed.
The Pentax Optio W60 has a 2.5 inch LCD monitor screen which can be viewed even in bright sunlight due to its In Plane Switching capacity and anti-reflection coating. It gives you the option to record movies and videos at high definition resolution at a speed of 15 frames per second.
Durability of the camera need not be concern since it was designed using a dual layer polycarbonate plastic and aluminum plated body so you can use it even in extreme conditions. It has 14 digital filters ensuring crisp and sharp pictures.
