Pentax
Optio WG-1 Waterproof GPS Digital Camera - Green
(PKOPTWG1GPSGN)
Pros: Built in Geo-tagging, Excellent Image quality, Small / Compact, Great Resolution, Sturdy, Large Clear LCD
Cons: Low resolution macro, Complicated Controls, Short Battery Life, Difficult manual controls
Other Comments: Finally Pentax has made a real underwater camera. I like this camera quite a bit for the geo-tagging feature and the high resolution photos. It is a nice companion to my DSLR. My biggest complaints have to do with the limited ability to control manual settings such as shutter speed and aperture when not in full automatic mode, and the rather disappointing "digital microscope" mode which gives a 2 megapixel image rather than using the entire sensor and giving a 14 megapixel image. If the camera can focus at 1cm why not use the entire sensor? It is rather ridiculous to call it "digital microscope" mode when it is actually just using digital zoom.
Yes, I recommend this product
