The Pentax Optio W80 Waterproof 12.1MP Digital Camera is a high resolution camera with limited underwater capabilities inherent to many cameras coming out recently. The waterproof casing has become a primary quality of desirability in cameras these days due to the high danger of water getting into a camera and damaging it long term, perhaps even permanently debilitating and destroying it.

If you are looking for a great waterproof, digital camera, I rate the Pentax Optio W30 7.1 Megapixel an A+. It's an easy camera to use and you can store many photos on one card and takes hours of video on an 8GB card, using Quicktime-Mov files to boot. And, since the lens extension is internal, it can't get dirty or clogged with water.
