Designed with the look of mountaineering equipment, the Optio W90 kit includes a woven web fabric strap complete with a carabiner so you can attach the camera to a backpack and other outdoor gear.
12.1 effective megapixels resolution, a 5X wide-angle optical zoom lens and a large 2.7” anti-glare monitor – the Optio W90 offers absolute maximum output.

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Takes some what decent pictures in sunny conditions, and the macro lights are neat and I'm not really saying neat as truly amazed saying but as it could be a nice feature if the quality of this 12.0 mega pixel camera was at least as good as my 5 year old point and shoot with 5 mega pixels (wish we were allowed to say name brands here so i could be more helpful but the last reviews i wrote here with the names was rejected)
Cons: Low light shots of anything without the flash is a joke, and even with the flash it leaves somewhat to be desired, also when shooting in the manual mode as I most often do to get what I would call an OK shot you can set it up to allow the camera to take a longer exposure and have a smaller apperature to give you better depth a field in the shots and allow more light to enter but even this only helps a small ammount.
Other Thoughts: You'll never catch me using this camera as long as I have my 10 megapixel DSLR with me (and its 3 years old) but I will enjoy taking it trekking with me and it will serve as an ok back up in case my DSLR does finally break from the abuse I put it through. Overall I wish I would of saved my money and bough the K-7 instead of even wasting my money on this fancy and durable product that let me down and makes me doubt Pentax a little but not enough from stopping me from buying the K-7 if the price ever really drops

Pentax W90
Reviewed By: yickster1 on 5/27/2010
Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
Pros: Small and light weight. I can fit it in my pocket. Pictures are ok, when i am outside in the sun.... ideal camera to take to a water park in the morning. ** ONLY*** at night, just put it away...doesn't work...
Cons: Takes horrible pictures in low light situations. AVI movies are horrible!!! Strap handle with metal ring!!!! who thought of this???don't put this on!! will damage you camera like it did to mine!!! thought it was cool to have it attached to my belt, but as you walk it will swing and hit the metal ring and then will damage your camera!!! Little dents all over... controls!! horrible!! cute with the special pictures frames, but that quickly wore out when the quality of it is below par.
Other Thoughts: I wish i would have listen to my senses and got the Canon. Past 5 Camera has been Canon and everyone of them are outstanding. just thought i should try a different one this time. read all reviews, and they did say the pentax rank number two beside Canon. so i sad, what the heck! let's go for it! boy was i sorry. thing that got me was the size. canon was so much bigger then the pentax. but i guess the reason why, is because it takes great pictures and the pentax takes horrible ones....
