Paul LeFevre of popphoto.com takes a closer look at the waterproof Optio W30 digicam from Pentax. Here is an excerpt.…Where the Pentax Optio W20 was rated to 1.5 meters (approx. 5 ft.) for 30 minutes underwater, the W30 can go down to 3 meters (approx. 10 ft.) for up to 2 hours.

Another improvement over the W20 is that all of the camera's watertight access covers lock automatically on closing, so there's less to check and forget before heading into the water.
Movies shot with the camera were smooth and sharp, and the camera's zoom can be used in movie mode. Just as with still shots, underwater movies looked better in normal movie mode than in the special underwater movie mode, which gave the same too-blue result…
