- Going skiing this weekend? Slip one of these weather- and waterproof cameras in your pocket.
- A recent e-mail from a reader reminded me of waterproof cameras. I love the idea and just wish Canon would come out with a great waterproof PowerShot SD870 IS! You'd think that waterproof cameras are all about summer, but in my family at least, the second favorite winter sport...

- pentax Optio Z10 (Black)
- While most camera companies were designing cameras with sliding lens covers to mimic Sony's T-series cameras, Pentax didn't jump on that bandwagon. But, now that sliding covers have become a regular part of the digital camera design aesthetic, Pentax has its own spin on the slide. Behind that cover, the...

- pentax Optio A10
- Pentax's Optio A10 boasts some impressive specs, including 8-megapixel resolution, sensor-shifting shake reduction, ISO 800 sensitivity, and a high-resolution 232,000-pixel 2.5-inch LCD. As you might expect, the camera produces decent images under a variety of conditions, but as in many pocket cameras, excessive noise makes the Optio A10 impractical for...

- Samsung GX-1S
- Proving that a Pentax by another name does shoot as sweet, Samsung's *ist DS2 clone, the GX-1S, provides the same mix of picture quality, small size for a dSLR, and ease of use that we saw in the Pentax-branded version. Beginners will appreciate its simplicity, while advanced amateurs should enjoy...

- As Pentax's top player in the tightly competitive field of consumer digital SLRs, the *ist DS2 is essentially a slightly upgraded and repackaged version of the company's successful *ist DS.

- pentax *ist DL (with 18mm-to-55mm lens)
- One of the smallest and most affordable dSLRs in town, the Pentax *ist DL is another of the company's series of SLRs that is as easy to use as it's perplexing to pronounce. The DL is a sibling of the *ist DS2 with slightly fewer features and a larger body....
