Yeah, I saw that, but it sounded kind of fishy. Here's a PR-type description of it that I found:

"When recording still images, the Optio P70’s new Pixel Track SR (Shake Reduction) mode effectively compensates for camera shake by processing the amount of image blur with a dedicated ASIC. Pixel Track SR tracks motion blur at the pixel level and calculates blur volume in real time. After exposure, the recovery filter centers the motion effect around each pixel to compartmentalize the blur. Then, an adjustment filter sharpens the pixels to help remove the blur effect. Pixel Track SR results in sharp images without adding high ISO noise."

That's not optical... and I don't like the sound of it.]]>Jun 24th 2009 8:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/pentaxs-optio-w80-point-and-shoot-shrugs-off-water-haters/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/pentaxs-optio-w80-point-and-shoot-shrugs-off-water-haters/I like the protection on the edges. It looks like X symbol.
Been thinking to get a waterproof camera for Summer FUN at the beaches and pools.

Last time I dropped my Canon and died. The next P&S should be shockproof too. This could be the one.

Wow. And now you comment from The Beyond... I don't think you need a ruggedized camera. ]]>Jun 30th 2009 12:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/pentaxs-optio-w80-point-and-shoot-shrugs-off-water-haters/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/pentaxs-optio-w80-point-and-shoot-shrugs-off-water-haters/Jun 24th 2009 7:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/pentaxs-optio-w80-point-and-shoot-shrugs-off-water-haters/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/pentaxs-optio-w80-point-and-shoot-shrugs-off-water-haters/So in theory a device could be made that is protected from falls between 3 and 1 meter, but not less than 1.

Aren't I annoying :)

16ft is a pretty advanced free-dive... very few people can get there, I know it's pathetic, but nonetheless....]]>Jun 24th 2009 7:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/pentaxs-optio-w80-point-and-shoot-shrugs-off-water-haters/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/pentaxs-optio-w80-point-and-shoot-shrugs-off-water-haters/Jun 24th 2009 7:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/pentaxs-optio-w80-point-and-shoot-shrugs-off-water-haters/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/pentaxs-optio-w80-point-and-shoot-shrugs-off-water-haters/Jun 25th 2009 1:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/pentaxs-optio-w80-point-and-shoot-shrugs-off-water-haters/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/pentaxs-optio-w80-point-and-shoot-shrugs-off-water-haters/Jun 25th 2009 3:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/pentaxs-optio-w80-point-and-shoot-shrugs-off-water-haters/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/pentaxs-optio-w80-point-and-shoot-shrugs-off-water-haters/Jun 25th 2009 3:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/pentaxs-optio-w80-point-and-shoot-shrugs-off-water-haters/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/pentaxs-optio-w80-point-and-shoot-shrugs-off-water-haters/Jun 29th 2009 2:16PM
