HOYA CORPORATION PENTAX Imaging Systems Division is pleased to announce the launch of the new PENTAX Optio W60 compact digital camera. Featuring one of the lightest designs in a waterproof camera, the Optio W60 is equipped with a newly developed 28mm wide-angle optical 5x zoom lens, a 10 effective megapixels, and enhanced waterproofing performance more than 30 percent better than previous models allowing the camera to operate underwater at depths of four meters.

The Optio W60 can be used underwater as deep as four meters continuously for two hours — a more than 30 percent improvement over the performance of the previous model (which could be used only to depths of three meters). This achievement is the result of improved construction of the shutter button and other controls and reinforced airtightness at external joints. Not only is the Optio W60 waterproofed to the JIS Class 8 Waterproofing standard, it has been dustproofed to JIS Class 5 against sand and dust and can operate in temperatures as cold as -10°C. Photographers can use this camera during such outdoor activities as skiing, marine sports, or fishing as well as while gardening or cooking without having to worry about water or dirt.
