Your cart is empty.Despite its compact, lightweight body, this standard-class, waterproof digital compact camera is designed to be waterproof down to a depth of 14 meters, shockproof against a fall from a height of 1.6 meters, and freeze-proof against temperatures as low as -10°C. It assures outstanding reliability and operability even under harsh conditions where ordinary compact cameras and smartphones often become unusable. It comes equipped with an outdoor-friendly monitor, which swiftly optimizes the image brightness level to improve the visibility of a scene in bright outdoor locations. It also features the PENTAX-original Digital Microscope mode, which allows the user to capture clear, vivid images of a microscopic world normally undetectable with the naked eye. This model can be used for a wide range of scenes and subjects, ranging from casual snapshots to outdoor and underwater photography, and even in specialized worksite applications

I bought a version of this camera in 2011. It was great for free diving, boating, tubing, and skin boarding. Unfortunately after 13 years of adventures the seal failed and the camera was flooded and died. I quickly bought this camera as a replacement and took it on a tubing trip. I had the same ease of use, and great battery life I enjoyed with the previous camera, but with a better pixel density - meaning bigger and more clear finished photos.This will definitely accompany me on trips to the ocean, river, springs and free diving/snorkeling trips.One photo is my new (blue) and previous camera, the other is a photo taken from the center of the spring run. the light spot in the upper left is from a water drop in the lens.

I've bought 4 of these Pentax/Ricoh camera (including the new WG-1000) and the WG-70, 80, 90 are the best. I hade one leak the 3rd time out, so I got the extended warranty with this one. The 5x zoom is the best and has yielded some wonderful pix.

Terrible for its advertised usage. Underwater it over exposes by 1.5 stops with it suddenly jumping 2.5 stops randomly. Underwater mode locks out exposure compensation and does not correct for loss of red and every photo has an exaggerated blue cast. Lack of RAW mode makes it impossible to ignore these issues. Only a P mode which made terrible decisions for aperture vs shutter speed. One star because it works okay as a point and shoot out of the water, but your modern cell phone will do better. One star because the seals seem to be decent. Too bad the photos were terrible.

It was a pleasure to use this camera. I can concentrate on the subject I'm photographing, and less on the camera.

The rear battery compartment assembly would not completely close. The camera was still under warranty and I sent it back. To my surprise, I get an email with an invoice for $269 to repair the slide mechanism. The representative said normal wear and tear is not covered. This was not the response I was expecting.

Change the settings to get better photos for clinical use

I encountered two issues using this camera:1) Images were not as sharp as I was expecting. And a lot of images came out overexposed.2) Battery and interface compartments collected minute particles of sand around the gaskets. Upon opening these compartments, some of these grains landed on the gasket and needed thorough cleaning before closing. In general, the gasket sealing system for these compartments seems flimsy and prone to leakage. I wouldnʻt be surprised if the camera leaks the next time I use it.For the price, I think the buyer can do better.

Excellent camera!!! Love the ease of use with the presets, night mode is exception.Battery life per charge is a bit short. Have yet to test in bad weather.

The third time I took this camera snorkeling, it leaked and stopped working. When I got it, I thought that the seal on the battery compartment looked kind of flimsy, compared to my previous Olympus tough camera, and I was right. And the warranty excludes water damage! Don't buy it!
