When it comes to cameras typically if you get them wet you will soon be in the market for a new camera. However, there are times when you want to take pictures in and around water like at the beach or the pool. For these times using a normal camera can be ill advised.

Pentax has announced a new waterproof camera called the Optio W60 that has a 10 megapixel sensor and 5x optical zoom with a 28mm wide-angle lens. A digital wide function merges two shots into one for an ultra-wide-image.
