Since I knew I would be going places because the bug has finally made its way to my heart, I needed a good camera to digitally capture my adventures. I wanted to be faithful to my ‘travel light principle’ so I crossed out a bulky dslr camera.
There are a lot of compact cameras to choose from, each highlighting a feature which would make you look closer to the item – and then stare at the tag price. Because I felt I would be in different places with varying conditions – hot, sandy, cold, wet – I decided to get a sturdy amphibian.
Tadah!
It's so outdoorsy I'm gonna die!
Meet W90.
As my brother have commented about my purchase on Facebook:
Pros: Legendary Pentax optics in a waterproof, shockproof, and freeze proof construction.
Cons: I heard it can be destroyed by lava.
W90's baptism
He may be exaggerating, but I already tried placing W90 inside a bucket full of ice for 10 minutes, threw it over the shore in Magalawa, snorkeled with it, and captured images underwater.
W90 is cool. Whatchathink?

Sounds like the perfect camera for tough and rugged adventures, looking forward to your snapshots, have fun

Yes
with a camera like this, I think I’ll never have to worry about its condition. Just have to bring it to Pentax after a year or two for check-up.
