Pentax W60 Digital Camera Review:
  If you feel right digital camera drop resistance against pressure less demanding, then the pairs of anti-DC Pentax W60 will be apart from Olympus μSW series outside the new choice. Using a large number of metal body designed to Olympus μSW protection in place gives the feeling after a day, but the body weight is not light. The Pentax W60 is the use of large areas of plastic body, with a very light weight, is too valuable W60 waterproof to JIS 8-class standards, dust-proof capacity reached JIS 5 Ji. Coupled with 1280 * 720p high-definition camera and the use of the advantages of SD cards, I believe that has already attracted many friends in the eye.
  Following the release of the Pentax 2007PMA pairs of anti-aircraft W30, the re-launched the follow-up models Optio W60. Waterproof performance increase of 30% will enable the 4-meter deep underwater camera to shoot operation, with the JIS 8 waterproof standard and JIS 5 Ji dust capacity. Shooting levels are elevated to the mainstream nowadays, with a 1/2.3 inch 10 million-pixel CCD, 28mm wide-angle 5-fold optical zoom periscope-style lens, smile shutter and so are familiar with the technology, but also with 720p high-definition camera function, digital wide-angle and Digital Panoramic and other functions, is a comprehensive performance upgrade models.
  Unfortunately, the Pentax W60 is still missing on the optical image stabilization technology of common concern. The main reason is that Pentax has always been known for R & D CCD shift, but in a tiny periscope-type models the body be compromised, while the lens image stabilization technology can be applied are still not grasped. This is true for Olympus cameras, the latest anti-3 also appeared on the μ1030SW. The significance of underwater image stabilization is not large, we should expect a strong flash, but for everyday shooting, optical image stabilization function is better equipped.
Look, feel Experience:
  1. Pentax W60 holding it in the hands of first touch is light, non-battery under 144.6g, with the general feeling of the three little departure from the anti-camera, and even the quality of the camera than most even less. However, W60 positioned as waterproof and dustproof, the metal body of the request is also a little off. Use of large areas of plastic fuselage design, well positioned to reduce body weight, easy to carry. The front panel is the outer layer of metal, you can wear and feel the pressure. Pentax W60 Dimensions 99 × 25 × 56mm, the size of relatively modest.
  2. Designed to handle a prominent position of non-slip rubber, providing better traction. The surface of the metal layer and the fuselage filled with water between the plastic, the overall workmanship is tight, and waterproof performance, no doubt. Lanyard location is very thick strong, specifically designed to adapt to a variety of outdoor sports. Different from the past is the Pentax W60′s body is designed to identify the vertical print, erected when the W60 can better restore its original shape. Also facilitate the hanging in the chest as a beautiful jewelry.
Performance review:
  The new Pentax W60 is equipped with 5x optical zoom lens that can cover the 5mm to 25mm focal range (equivalent to 35mm film size 28mm to 140mm), periscope-style zoom lens design allows the lens in the process will not extend the fuselage. Comparing alternative is that the lens is not the lens cap, what we see is the off state of the W60. This should be designed to simplify the design of the lens position to reduce the number of easily damaged parts and reduce the technical difficulty. Patents SP (Super Protect) coating for superior protection to protect the lens front of the lens provides excellent water resistance, water droplets attached to the lens surface is not easy. And the dust in the face of this design when you can just wash flooded, but the lenses still need to be careful to protect the exposed.
  Can see that the fuselage at the top of the sound hole where wheat is empty, although the waterproof performance can be assured, but if the dust is still more difficult to accidentally enter the wash out. However, the design of Pentax W series has always been The same is true, I believe that JIS 5 Ji dust capacity is not hypothetical. Almost all the buttons are waterproof DC more rigid handle the situation, because keys which have dense waterproof pad. The protruding height of the back key is different from the central five-way navigation button, the height generally higher than some other relatively flat flat. Mainly to distinguish between adjacent buttons, to prevent inadvertently.
  Pentax W60′s LCD is 2.5-inch 230,000-pixel, size has become quite outdated, with the back view of the fuselage the size of the configuration should be no problem with 2.7-inch LCD is the cost or design a better water-proof so do not know. Surface AR (Anti-Reflection) anti-reflective coatings, display, or well under normal circumstances, but even under bright light does not have a great advantage. Up to 170-degree horizontal and vertical viewing angles, can adapt to a variety of use of the environment.
  Pentax W60 battery storage for the two-stage switch, mainly in order to prevent accidental opening while the water, serve as an effective protection. Outside of the battery storage card bit more tight, but the camera’s lens outward, LCD toward their own bodies, in accordance with the instructions of the arrows can be easily opened with one hand.
The battery inside huge warehouses circle layer waterproof gaskets, washers flexibility is not very strong to cope with the pressure of 4 meters underwater is no problem, but a little deeper when the water depth is necessary to avoid. This design more appropriate at the beach swimming, playing in the water, diving and other occasions is still inadequate.
  Battery storage which contains the data-line interface and SD card storage, instead of a single warehouse in the past two warehouse design, reducing the technical difficulty is more easy to implement. The use of lithium battery 680mAh, endurance capacity of the middle class. But I am more disturbing is the battery can insert in the rollover of this design is still the need to avoid imperfections.
  Pentax W60 has a wealth of facial features, the upgraded facial recognition capabilities, not only can automatically set focus and exposure, but only 0.03 seconds can be detected at one time to a maximum of 32 human faces. Camera also has a “smile that the film” feature, the camera will detect automatically when a smiling person shooting, while “blink reminder” feature checks to people in the blink of an eye after shooting, and also reminded the photographer.
