Pentax Optio W80
The 12-megapixel Pentax Optio W80 ($299.95 direct) looks great on paper, with the potential to be the best water-, freeze-, and shock-proof point-and-shoot camera you can find. It packs a wide 28mm lens with a generous 5x zoom, captures high ...

Manufacturer's Description
Adventurous meets clumsy in the 12 megapixels, waterproof, coldproof and now shockproof Optio W80. Dunk it, freeze it, drop it, and it will keep coming back for more.
