Would that be any more of a problem with the Pentax compared with the Olympus? Dan Matyola http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/danieljmatyola On Mon, Dec 4, 2017 at 2:45 PM, mike wilson wrote: > > On 04 December 2017 at 16:48 "Daniel J. Matyola" >

The WG series pretty much fits the bill. The latest, I believe it is the WG 50. I recommended an earlier WG to my ex-wife, and even she likes it. https://us.ricoh-imaging.com/index.php/cameras/wg-50 -p On Dec 4, 2017, 11:24 AM -0600, Mark Roberts , wrote: > Daniel

Re: Pentax waterproof camera

I don't think there's much difference between waterproofness in "inexpensive" cameras Pentax/Ricoh vs Olympus.  The build quality will probably be about the same.  The only actual underwater camera that I would trust implicitly is the Nikon AW1.  Then again it's almost $1000 for the two lens

The article says it's some kind of meta-review of all the studies the BMJ found on the subject, so it's averaging all the good results & bad results together and the net result appears to be "Coffee Good!" On 12/4/2017 10:49, P. J. Alling wrote: Coffee is either very good for you or very bad

Thanks you Mark< Paul, Mike Stan and John for your comments and advice. Thanks, Stan, for the offer, but I don't think I would give a friend a used camera. I'm old-fashioned about things like that. What is the current model? How much better is the WG-5 than the WG-3? Dan Matyola

Re: Pentax waterproof camera

I have the WG-3 and WG-5. Haven’t used either much underwater, but then I haven’t been underwater that much. If you would like to buy the WG-3 for your friend to evaluate (whatever is a fair price) let me know. The newer models look & act pretty much the same, though with a deeper underwater

Pentax used to have a whole line of these, but it looks like Ricoh has rebranded them as Ricoh and limited selection to just one model in two colors. https://us.ricoh-imaging.com/index.php/cameras/wg-50 JIS Level 8 seals good to 14 meters. There's a review from shutterbug here.
