Optio WP-i Waterproof Digital Camera - NEW!
The new Pentax Optio WPi features 6.0 effective megapixels packed in a slim body that captures images up to five feet underwater and offers a JIS Class 5 dustproof rating. Perfect for extreme indoor or outdoor adventure, the Optio WPi offers high resolution images with a quick start-up, a 3X zoom lens and an ultra-fast 9-point Autofocus to keep your subjects sharp. Waterproof Performance Without Additional Housing - The Optio WPi features JIS Class 8 waterproof performance to withstand up to 30 minutes of continuous operation at an underwater depth of 5 fee (1.5 meters). Add to this Class 5 dustproof performance of category 2 (machines produced to prevent internal changes in atmospheric pressure) for an ideal camera in extreme conditions indoors or out. Sophisticated Body Design - The slim, flat body design is ideal for pocket or purse portability. The ergonomic contoured grip design provides users with a more confident, more comfortable shooting experience. The Optio WPi features high-quality aluminum alloy for the front panel with a textured face. The rounded overall form of the Optio WPi is accentuated by a water ring design element, a four-way control key and other details that give the camera a look that is both sophisticated and user-friendly. A 3X Optical Zoom Lens and 6.0 Eeffective Megapixels - The Optio WPi delivers premier optical performance with a lens comprised of 11 elements in 9 groups. It also includes three aspherical lens elements that compensate for aberration to make for even sharper results, and makes use of a refraction lens system that enables it to deliver 6.3-18.9mm 3X optical zoom performance and cover angles of view equivalent to those of a 38-114mm lens in 35mm format without ever extending from the camera body. Together these features allow photographers to make the very most of the Optio WPi's ample 6.0 effective megapixels. 2.0 Inch, 115,000 Pixel LCD Monitor - Despite slim, flat body dimensions, the Optio WPi features a large, 2.0 inch LCD monitor with 115,000 pixels for precise confirmation of recorded images. This low-reflection monitor also features a backlighting mechanism that effectively maximizes visibility, even when used outside on sunny days, and additionally offers a Power saving mode that automatically reduces backlighting intensity to make batteries last longer. Mode Palette Makes Operation Easy - The popular Mode palette featured on other Optio models displays multiple shooting or playback options simultaneously. For the shooting Mode palette, the user can display 15 mode icons at once out of a total of 22, with the remaining 7 icons replacing the selected 15 on the user's command. What's more, just a press of the Green button while the Mode palette is on is all it takes to display easy-to-understand explanations and photos for the selected item - reducing the need to consult the user manual for simpler operation.
