Well, fall has come and with it brought us rain and cold weather which makes it harder to take photos outdoors specially if you have expensive equipment and don’t want it to get wet. So what would be a suited camera to take with you out for taking some shoots in that bad weather. Although i don’t own one myself i have heard that the Pentax Optio W60 is a camera you can vouch for when it comes to the cold and the rain and moisture. The Pentax Optio W60 camera is as almost as good as water proof,cold proof and shock resistant, plus it can endure sub zero temperatures. For a long time Pentax has been leading the market of producing weather resistant point & shoot cameras also this addition entirely exceeds the previous ones. The predecessor for the W60 camera was the Pentax Optio w30.
Even though the W30 has been a neat weather proof model that acquired great pictures, it caused a bothersome lag time whenever the auto focus was correcting itself. Although, this issue hasn’t been entirely solved there’s a marked improvement to the W60 camera. The speed in the shutter has been improved from 1/1500 to 1/2000. Same as the earlier model before, this camera is able to be completely sunken in water however the limitation of 10 ft before is now increased to a depth of 13 ft. This camera is awesome if you like to take pictures under water, in rain and extreme temperatures or perhaps just to take pictures of family & friends. An improvement has also been done to the its zoom capacity of 3 x to 5 x, that surely is a huge difference for the cameras capability to take close up pictures. The W30 model already was able to take great shots of landscapes however currently with the wider angle of 28mm zooming lens it has pushed tits potential to a whole new level. The Optio W60 camera can still capture a great image except something tto be remembered is that the features which allow a camera to take great underwater pictures might not be so useful of taking dry shot pictures. W60 has raised the resolution to 10 megapixels that is more sufficient if somebody wants to enlarge the pictures. But, with the extended resolution in addition to the wider lens possibilities there’s alittle of barrel distortion with it and the corners could come out a little soft too. This aren’t things that are deliberately apparent and alltogether appearance the W60 produces is still crisp and clear. The image quality is probably about average to most. By and large, when looking at the the features offered with this camera still make it an outstanding buy. Furthermore, I was somehow worried about the battery life because of the increase to the zoom function along with advancements to its automatic features, still, Pentaxalso did improvements to the battery as well. It still comes with the same Li-Ion battery except now it increased the battery life expectancy before it needs a recharge. This is a significant feature to take into account whenever you’re taking your camera on a trip but have nowhere to plug it in. It’s merely one of themany things that the people at Pentax thought about when making this camera for the adventurous & bold consumer. Fine points like the anti-reflective coating on the LCD could make a clear difference to the user if they’re outside and exposed to the essentials. Either if you’re some surfer snapping photos while on your board, or taking pictures in winter of your kid(s) building a snowman this model camera is a good in allweather choice.
