One of only two cameras that fall under the standard point and shoot underwater camera category (Olympus MJU 725 SW being the other), if you want to take pictures of your friends by the pool you don't have much choice. However, the W20 isn't a bad camera and alongside the JIS Class 8 water proofing, JIS Class 5 dust proofing, has the standard features expected from a camera of this type at this price. The W20 can be submerged underwater up to a depth of 1.5 meters for up to 30 minutes continuously.
