Soaking. Freezing. Dropping.
Adventurous meets clumsy in the 12 megapixel, waterproof, coldproof, and now shockproof Optio W80. Dunk it, freeze it, drop it, and it will keep coming back for more.

  • 12.1 Megapixels for detailed images that can be printed in large sizes.
  • 5X internal optical zoom in a slim 1 inch body is equivalent to 28-140mm.
  • Wide angle 28mm lens gives an expanded perspective to images, ideal for indoor, landscape, or group shots.
  • 2.5 inch LCD monitor features anti-reflective coating, making it easy to view, even in bright sunlight.
  • Waterproof design withstands depths up to 16 feet (5 meters) to protect from rain and spills, as well as allowing full underwater photos and video.
  • Rugged Shockproof design protects against drops of 3.3 feet, ensuring the camera is protected from hard use and the occasional “spills” on dry land.
  • Coldproof design allows the camera to be used in sub-zero temperatures of -10° Celsius (14° Fahrenheit), ideal for cold weather activities such as skiing and snowmobiling.
  • Widescreen, HD movie capture records resolutions up to 1280x720 pixels at full-speed 30 frames per second.
  • Fast Face Detection technology sees up to 32 faces in 0.03 seconds, with Smile Capture and Blink Detection, for perfect portrait shots.
  • Pixel Track Shake Reduction (SR) ensures sharp images in any lighting condition, without adding high ISO noise. Digital SR and Movie SR are also available.
  • Close focusing, Super Macro mode brings out the details in even the smallest subjects as close as 1 cm.
