It´s finally here
Well, we were right about them not continuing with the current A470 type of camera, wrong about the model number.

2.5″ LCD

This looks like an intelligent $100 camera for our cheap grandparents and for our hapless teenage children. Good upgrade.

  1. Hej, Waterproof camera and cam + waterproof cam are different things imo…
    The cases are very expensive and can go -30m or more… A waterproof camera is a camera for beach pictures, being near the water without fearing for your cam or 1m or maybe 2 underwater. Also at the swimming pool.
    Pentax W30 is said to work -3m for 2 hours, canon dive cases are said to work at -40m.

  2. My dad’s on his fourth ‘waterproof’ Olympus… They keep on getting sent back on warranty after leaking water whilst snorkelling around. I’m tempted to just buy him a camera + separate dive case.
