Pentax W80 - $150 new at adorama camera

Tired of people replying to your posts saying, "This post is useless without pictures"?
Sad that you can't bring your camera on the water with you because if it gets splashed it will die?
Want a camera as ugly as that sturgeon that you're targeting?

Well this may be the camera for you:

Pentax Optio W80 12.1 MP, Waterproof Digital Camera, with Float Strap & 2GB SD Card - Adorama Exclusive Color; Black with Gold Finish
$149.95 with free shipping.

This is not an advertisement, I was just goofing around it's a good price on a pretty popular waterproof camera.  Ugly as sin though.  Around $50-$100 cheaper than you'll find it anywhere else.  probably a limited time offer.  Don't trust the strap!

I'ver ordered from Adorama before with no problems, a little bit slow on shipping but if its new its new.

Thanks Ben.  At $150 I'm in for one.

I don't have any personal exp with it but I think the reviews hold true for most of the waterproof cameras. I have an olympus stylus 1050w and the pics on it turn out good in good lighting, but poor in low light conditions-looks like it is misty.  Waterproof cams are made to be rugged and I think that affects pic quality when you are zooming in, but they look ok to the naked eye when posting them in a size to fit facebook photobucket or on forum sites like ncka.

Great deal, and funny writeup!!!    I love mine!!!  Paid a lil more than this though...

Thanks to Ben for the heads up and Al for the feedback. At this price I ordered one. I hate to pay much more for a camera when I know next year, or month, they will come out with new ones that are better/more features etc.

Personally I think sturgeon are very handsome fish. 

I'll reserve judgement on the camera's looks, with the gold trim, until I receive it. 

Seems like this is on special because folks weren't into the color scheme.  It's not exactly understated.  Which is great--harder to lose.

Yeah, if you were spending $275+, there are better cameras.  But I'm not going to...

FYI this is still an active deal. I ordered one last night.
