Geek Gadget Series – Pentax Optio W60 Waterproof Digital Camera
Unfortunately I have to provide a 2 star review to the Pentax Optio W60. I will actually be returning the product due to a showstopper in how it records video with autofocus. In this video review I present the problem for you to see and hear. For my original blog post visit: www.digitalheath.com

Do you know if there is the same problem with new Pentax W80?

First of all, This camera should not be your first choice for recording videos anyways….
If you are mainly taking pictures it is an awesome camera. For me, video is an added option. If you are looking to do time elapses this camera will still work. . .edit some of your own music in and the “clicking” noise is no longer a problem.

This difference in video clarity in AF as to none is almost unnoticable

I’m hearing good things about the Sanyo Xacti – you might want to check it out at a store first and see how you like the feel/look/features.
