If you're willing to pay that bit extra (although we've seen online prices as low as £194) for waterproofing and shockproofing as well as improved macro and face recognition technology, then the Optio W90 is an ideal outdoor activity camera. ...
If you buy a waterproof, robust digital camera your emphasis is likely to be more on fun than looking for a picture that offers truly high end picture quality. Even so I was disappointed with the picture quality offered by the Pentax Optio W90. There ...
In terms of whether you should get this or the Olympus 8010 the choice is fairly clear: the 8010 has a higher Mp count, is more expensive, bigger, and heavier, so the Pentax Optio W90 is a good choice for anyone who wants a reasonably good camera that...
Robust enough to allow pictures that would prove impossible for standard cameras, more compact mobile phone-like dimensions than we're used to from a camera of this ilk, plus unique creative features and image quality that's better than expected

The Optio W90 is a versatile camera in every sense of the word, pairing a rugged, take-anywhere exterior with a wealth of functionality. A wide-angle lens helps capture more of that mountain vista, while underwater still and video modes boost your phot...
For 2010, Pentax has updated their "lifeproof" line of rugged compacts with the all new Optio W90. Dubbed their "11th generation waterproof digital camera", this unit builds off of the popularity seen from past models, like the Optio W80. Many of the c...
