Editors' Comments

The 3-megapixel Pentax Optio 33WR is Pentax's first waterproof digital camera. While the Optio 33WR should not be operated underwater, its sealed body can withstand immersion in shallow water. This capability, coupled with the camera's small size, makes the Optio 33WR a perfect companion for the active photographer.

3.2 megapixels (effective)
2.8x optical zoom/4x digital zoom
auto and manual focus
program exposure only
JPEG file format
ISO range 50 - 400

4.7 out of 5

With its ease of use, wealth of features, and very good image quality, the Pentax Optio33WR offers a lot of value (Steve's Digicams - 11/20/03)

A waterproof exterior, good image quality, and 2.8x optical zoom earn the Pentax Optio 33WR a very positive review. Despite its water-sealed body, the 33WR can still record sound with its movies, adding to the camera's versatility. read original review
