Image quality
The Optio W10's photo quality disappoints on a few fronts as well. Exposures are generally accurate, even in harsh afternoon lighting or under the gloom of monsoon rains. Colours that are generally difficult to capture correctly reproduce well. Red tulips and lavender phlox rendered red and lavender, respectively. However, images suffer from a few serious postprocessing artefacts that not only soften the edges but obscure details and make the photos look out of focus.
The Pentax Optio W10 is a good camera for extreme shooting. Its design lets it shrug off water and dirt that would destroy other cameras. Its performance and image quality leave a lot to be desired, though, and you might want to look for another camera if you're not planning to go swimming with it.
