## Description

Despite its compact, lightweight body, this standard-class, waterproof digital compact camera is designed to be waterproof down to a depth of 14 meters, shockproof against a fall from a height of 1.6 meters, and freeze-proof against temperatures as low as -10°C. It assures outstanding reliability and operability even under harsh conditions where ordinary compact cameras and smartphones often become unusable. It comes equipped with an outdoor-friendly monitor, which swiftly optimizes the image brightness level to improve the visibility of a scene in bright outdoor locations. It also features the PENTAX-original Digital Microscope mode, which allows the user to capture clear, vivid images of a microscopic world normally undetectable with the naked eye. This model can be used for a wide range of scenes and subjects, ranging from casual snapshots to outdoor and underwater photography, and even in specialized worksite applications

Review: Great for underwater content! - Having a chance to use this camera abroad was amazing. I can honestly say this has been a great little camera so far. Being a professional photographer for a living, It's been drilled into me that water + camera equipment = bad. However, using this camera take talke some underwater images has been nothing but fun! This camera definitely won't have the same quality as say a Sony A7iii, or even the same quality as a semi decent phone camera. The camera is 16mp with a digital zoom, so straight out the box you should have an idea of the quality you'll get out of the images. The videos I would say don't look too bad at all, but you still won't get 4k quality and no more than 30fps from what I can tell. However, if you're getting this camera, you're getting it because you want a unit that can handle alot of knocks and bumps and again, the ability to take videos and images underwater. That in itself is worth sacrificing a little bit of image quality I would say. I've been able to get quite low underwater with the camera, about the length of 3 or 4 average sized men. So I'd say the camera is more than capable of withstanding most anything you'd be using it for. The size of the camera is also great for travelling. It could easily fit in you're pocket or clip onto a bag strap if you're looking to take some action videos! Personally, i'd say the price for this camera is worth it if you're looking for a product that can take some abuse whilst shooting outside in the real world elements. Definitely consider this for your next holiday camera!
Review: Impressive for what it is - Well, this is going to be a long one. So, as a regular camera, it's not top quality. It's picture and video quality is far worse than your average phone camera. It's built in memory also quite small with 66Mb, so an additional memory card is strongly adviced. However, as a camera built to withstand abuse and underwater conditions, it's great. It takes some time to get used to the sealing mechanism, but it's easy to use afterwards and they do protect the camera from water damage. Unfortunately I wasn't able to show it on the video (Out of the box. Wasn't setup or charged.), but the camera did work perfectly after dropping it into the water. It needed a first time charge and basic location/time zone setups, but that's understandable. It can be charged with any micro-usb cable as far as I can tell, but you need an actual micro-usb data cable to dowbload the images. Luckily that one is provided as the dedicated charging cable. Overall, I like it, but I do agree with many others, that this is a really expensive and specialized purpose camera. And as such, I can only recommend it for it's dedicated purpose. For more generic use, cheaper cameras or even phone cameras will easily out perform it.
