Review summary: Neither rain, nor sleet, nor snow, nor sand, nor mud, nor dust will stop the 6-megapixel Pentax Optio W10. This postal-worker-worthy camera is specially sealed to prevent damage from the elements, completely submersible in water to a depth of 4.9 feet ...

Pros: Excellent metering, great colour, good (but plastic) build, great underwater and dust proofing ; can dive to down to around 5 feet (1.5m)

Verdict: The Pentax Optio W10 provides a great all-weather package being both JIS Class 8 waterproofed and Class 5 dust proofed
