Pentax Optio W90 12.1 MP Waterproof Digital Camera with 5x Wide Angle Zoom and 2.7-Inch LCD (Black)
I have owned two previous incarnations of the W series. I hoped this one would handle difficult light situations better. Well, it does't do a very good job. Low light requiring a high ISO and either incandescent or flourescent filters gives poor resolution and strange color. Sunset shots are impossible The flash is very limited, even when using a higher ISO. There does not seem to be a happy medium between flash blowout and insufficient illumination.

Battery life is dismal. You need to carry at least one fully charged spare at all times. Two is better. Batteries a incredibly expensive for the performance they supply.

It IS handy, though, if all you want is outdoor snaps in good light.
