More adventure-proof than ever, the Pentax W80 digital camera is waterproof, dustproof, coldproof, and now shockproof enough to withstand impact from a fall of more than three feet (one meter). Pentax first introduced dunkable digital cameras in 2003 to the delight of outdoor enthusiasts, travelers and families everywhere.

Today, the Pentax Optio W80’s waterproof design withstands depths of up to 16 feet (5 meters) to protect from rain and spills, as well as allowing full underwater photos and video for up to two hours. On dry land, the rugged, shockproof design protects against drops of up to 3.3 feet to protect the camera from hard use and occasional spills. Also featuring 12.1 megapixels, a 5x internal optical zoom (equivalent to 28-140mm), a slim one-inch body, and a wide-angle 28mm lens, the Optio W80 offers an expanded perspective that is ideal for landscape, group and more confined shots.

With a Pentax-developed imaging engine and a high-performance Pentax zoom lens, the Optio W80 delivers brilliant, high-quality images with well-defined details. A Super Protect (SP) coating applied to the mineral crystal cover of the internal zoom lens helps repel water, grime and finger marks.

Pentax Optio W80 Features
- 12.1-megapixel resolution image sensor captures enough detail for photo-quality 13 x 19-inch prints
- Coldproof design endures sub-freezing temperatures of 14 degrees Fahrenheit
- Widescreen, HD movie capture that records resolutions up to 1280 x 720 pixels at full-speed 30fps

- Capture images to SD/SDHC memory cards (not included)

Pentax K-7 Digital SLR Camera

May 21st, 2009

Pentax K7

Price: Pentax K7


The most significant features of the Pentax K-7 that have never been offered before in any K series digital camera, and in some cases any camera, include:

+ A compact, magnesium alloy body that is one of the smallest in the advanced photo enthusiast category to reduce bulk and allow users to travel light while maintaining durability and build quality (seven percent smaller than the K20D and up to 25 percent smaller than other cameras in the same class).
+ A new 14.6 megapixel CMOS sensor rebuilt from the ground up to minimize noise, adds four channel output for fast image capture, and the ability to capture HD quality movies. It is the ideal combination of resolution and file size, allowing very large (poster size and larger) prints and cropping flexibility.
+ A new 77-segment metering system quickly and accurately determines exposure for even the most complex and dynamic lighting situations.
+ HD Movie capture features adjustable quality and resolution settings, aperture control, as well as mechanical Shake Reduction, and an external microphone terminal for recording stereo sound.* The K-7 will capture video at the default standard of 1280×720 resolution with a 16:9 aspect ratio (equivalent to 720p), 1536×1024 resolution with a 3:2 aspect ratio, or 640×416 resolution with a 3:2 aspect ratio (equivalent to VGA quality), all shot at 30 frames per second.
+ An HDMI port with selectable output resolution (1080i, 720p, 480p, and auto) offers high resolution playback of images and video on modern high definition TV’s.
+ A Dedicated AF-assist lamp further improves autofocus response and accuracy in low light conditions.
+ An Electronic Level function ensures that images have truly level horizons to minimize post-capture editing.
+ An innovative in-camera Lens Correction function that electronically adjusts for Distortion and Lateral Chromatic Aberrations to maximize image quality with DA series lenses.
+ A dedicated Mirror Lock-up function eliminates image blur due to mirror movement during long exposures.
+ A High Dynamic Range (HDR) image capture mode captures three images then combines them in camera to widen the exposure gamut to bring out detail in all exposure areas of images.
+ A composition adjustment feature in Live View allows minor shifts in the framing and composition of images using the Shake Reduction mechanism without having to physically move the camera. This feature is ideal for tripod use.
+ A programmable embedded copyright function preserves artistic integrity and image ownership during capture via a keypad that may record ownership in metatag data.
