 Hi Doug,

I've been pleased enough with the Pentax WP and WPi to just upgrade to the Optio W30 (I skipped a couple of generations). The W30 is still more waterproofer yet - enough so that they recommend it for snorkeling, plus it's got interval shooting, a feature I hope to combine with my new deck monopod

to get the elusive kayak-cleaving-though-oncoming-wave shot (usually, you put down the paddle to pick up the camera, lose your forward way, and it becomes the kayak-being-broached shot. Yet again.)

Anyway, Pentax is about due to release whatever the next generation of Optio W will be, so if you hang tight, you may be able to score a killer close-out deal on the W30. It's small enough to slip into a pocket of your PFD, keeping your deck uncluttered.

Cheers,

Philip
