Unfortunately this isn’t going to be a positive review for the Pentax Optio W60 waterproof camera. I was so excited to get this thing, because I wanted a camera that could get completely soaking wet and still take pictures and video.

First let’s start with the basics and then you can watch the video review below for the whole story.

Still shots: no issue. There are a number of capture modes such as: auto, program, night scene, underwater, landscape, flower, portrait, digital wide, surf and snow, kids, et, half-length portrait, sports, fireworks, voice recording, night scene, text, food, panorama, just to name a few. 10 megapixels allows for blowing up pictures without losing quality.

Video mode: here’s where I have the showstopper. You either have videos with auto focus off and have blurry videos, or you have it with autofocus turned on and a loud and constant clicking sound recorded onto your video. Both options makes your video completely useless.

And now for my video review, where you can listen and see for yourself the problem I have with the camera (that I will now be returning).
