Digital camera test
In this month’s PBO (January 2004) Dick Everitt takes a look at four waterproof digital cameras and tests their abilities

The Pentax Optio 33WR and Casio’s GV-20 can tolerate being dunked in water but must not be used underwater . However the Sony Cybershot DSC-U60 and the Ricoh Capilo 300G can both be used down to a depth of a metre or so.

To try and give you an idea how the cameras compare we took the same scene with each camera. The two main pictures show the wide angle and zoom capabilities, and the other shows the quality.

As it’s awkward getting a fair representation on to the printed page, we have also put the jpegs on this page for you to download and compare. All the images were taken in a basic automatic mode, at their finest setting – but to show you how they could look, the last image has been tweaked slightly in Photoshop.
