Just wondering if anyone is buying the Optio W90 waterproof camera from Pentax. I'd like to read a review.
Got a tip for us?

Yeah, they are still on preorder so I guess not yet. Hoping someone here buys one before my vacation and can give me a good review.
I don't know what model it was, but I was in a cave with a guy that lost his Olympus in about 30' of water. We found it an hour later and the damn thing still worked well. It got some water behind a protective cover over the lens, but it dried out in a few days.
I was pretty impressed, I figured it would have been drowned since it is not rated for that deep.
I am seriously considering one for a vacation camera.

It also has hd video so it kills two birds with one stone. Waterproof digital camera and "cheap" waterproof video camera.
im going to buy one. i read a lot about the w80's and that convinced me. the only main difference between the w80 and the w90 is the redesign as well as the extremes have been extended (which i need). Plus pentax has a good history with waterproof cameras. they were the first. unfortunately im waiting for funds to come together so i wont be getting mine for a month or so :/
