Shopper : Why Did You Choose This?DAVID H : Simple. They stopped making the Nikon W300 camera. In fact. they stopped making any type of Nikon underwater point-n-shoot cameras like I've used for over the past twenty something years! So yeah, I ordered both the Pentax, and the Olympus models available, you know, just to see which one I like better. Like I said, SIMPLE.KEVIN B : convenience
