Pentax has just released information on their new digital camera, the Optio W80.  Continuing with their quality digital cameras, the W80 is no different as it should please both casual photographers and serious photographers.  To begin with, it is waterproof, dustproof, shockproof, and weather proof in the sense of handling… Continue Reading »

Pentax has a new toy in their K line and it’s worth a second look.  It’s the Pentax K-7.  Compact, rugged, with a whole new body design, the 14.6 megapixel DSLR may be all new and improved, but it still works with every Pentax lens out there. Pentax is designing… Continue Reading »
