My wife gave me a great birthday gift this week, a Pentax Option W60. I’ve never shot with Pentax as I have always been a Nikon snob, but this thing looks like it’s going to be a ton of fun. It’s completely waterproof and at 10 mp’s, will be more than robust for my shooting needs. The great thing is I can take as many photos of fish as I want. My kids always tell me when I’m snorkeling, “no more fish photos” I usually have 20 fish photos on the underwater disposable’s.

It also shoots high def video at 720p, so I can’t wait to give this a run. I thought it would be cool to just set the timer, throw it in a sink with running water and see what type of images I can come up with.

Also, shooting models on the beaches, this will be a great toy.

I did a quick search on Flickr.com, to see what others have done with the camera and thought I’d share a few, to give me some inspiration.
