Been thinking of a camera...this saves a lot of time surfing for good reviews.

Good details in this product review.

Thanks for sharing.

I have to agree about that review.  The Pentax w60 is the bomb!!!

Hope to post some coho on the fly action here soon with my cameras.

The new lens on the W60 is nice but I have heard the video quality is not as good as the W30.  I have a W30 with extended warranty and the LCD is malfunctioning.  I have been waiting for Pentax to release another W camera before I get a replacement because the W30 is my only video cam and I have a DSLR for stills when the conditions allow me to use it.  Image stabilization would be nice too.

why not get one of these for $10. Good for 5 meters and works fine with your existing non waterproof camera.
