Comments about Pentax Pentax Optio WG-1 14 Megapixel, Waterproof, Dust/Cold/Shock-Proof Digital Camera, Black:

I am a dentist and I use this camera in the office for macro photography. It is easy to use has built-in LED lights in lens. It is water proof so we can wipe it off after it is used. As a bonus, we took it with us on a vacation and got great pictures under water of our children.

Comments about Pentax Pentax Optio WG-1 14 Megapixel, Waterproof, Dust/Cold/Shock-Proof Digital Camera, Black:

I bought this to use while snorkeling in the Virgin Islands. It quit working after just a few moments in the water. I got it back to shore, opened it up, and poured water out of the battery compartment, which also holds the memory card.

You do the math.

Total thumbs down, garbage.
