When you're trying to get several samples of an image, as we do when shooting Gallery images, this can seem like a long time.

Playback: Pentax certainly didn't scrimp on Playback and in-camera editing options. During playback, you can either hit the "mode" button or the down arrow on the four-way controller to access the playback functions. For simple playback, you can customize a slideshow by setting the interval time, screen effects such as wipe, checker, or fade, and adding a sound effect think: cheesy magic wand music that kicks on as images transition. All of this is accomplished through a simple menu interface.

On the editing front, you can crop, add voice notes, remove red-eye, resize images, and apply filters such as Small face which, as you might guess, down-sizes the face for what the camera determines is a better proportioned portrait shot, especially useful when a face was too close to the lens at 28mm, or else too close to the edge , ink rubbing, and multiple color filter options.

There's probably more options in there than your typical consumer could want or use, but it's always nice to have the opportunity to experiment and tinker if the mood strikes. As with the shooting menu, all your options are laid out with easy-to-understand icons with descriptive text beneath to helpfully explain the functionality. Finally, a note about the manual, which is pages long. It's detailed and reasonably well written, and we haven't seen a manual this thick since the Nikon D, an expensive digital SLR.

And yes, it's all in English, not multiple languages, so we can say that the Pentax Optio W90 is very well documented. Sharpness : The Pentax Optio W90 maintains sharpness pretty well from corner to corner at both zoom settings, with only mild blurring visible in some corners, which doesn't extend very far into the main image area.

No doubt, the camera's clever processing is at work here. Chromatic Aberration : Chromatic aberration at wide-angle is moderately low, with only a small outline of bluish pixels outside of the target lines. At telephoto, the distortion is slightly more noticeable, but still fairly low. Macro : The Optio W90's Macro mode captures a sharp image with a lot of strong detail, though some slight blurring is present in the corners and along the edges of the frame still much less than average.

Minimum coverage area is a very respectable 1. Flash performance is very good here. The camera's 1cm or Super Macro mode gets even closer, though flash illumination becomes a problem. The LED alternative results in an uneven exposure, though would serve some function in a pinch. A special Scene mode called Digital Microscope not pictured gets a little closer, at least on the screen, by switching to mode, and recording a 2.

This mode still uses 1cm AF mode. Color : Color is oversaturated in many respects, especially bright reds, blues and greens. Many consumer digital cameras push these tones in an attempt to appeal to consumers who prefer brighter-than-life color.

Hue is also a little off for colors like yellow and cyan. Dark skintones are a little more saturated and quite warm, while lighter tones are closer to accurate. The Optio W90's auto flash mode produced a somewhat dim but usable image of our indoor portrait scene. Incandescent : The Optio W90's Incandescent white balance handles our tungsten lighting test better than Auto and Manual modes, though it is a bit cool and magenta. Chroma color noise is pretty well controlled at the lower ISOs, but begins to shift color balance at From ISO on up, detail becomes increasingly smudged, thanks to noise and noise suppression.

Despite the size limitation on the highest settings, the effects of noise and noise suppression are still too strong. See Printed results below for more on how this affects printed images. Printed : Among digital cameras, waterproof designs tend to produce softer images than a company's landlubber models, and the Pentax W90 is no exception; yet, its image quality is better than most, and that shows in its prints.

The quality decays more quickly than most, but the largest print size starts high for the category. ISO 80 shots are good printed at 13x19 inches, with good color and only slight softening in the reds. ISO shots are noticeably softer than ISO 80, which is unusual, but they're still quite good printed at 13x ISO shots are too soft for printing at 13x19, but look pretty good at 11x14, with the exception of some reds, which tend to get soft.

ISO images are better at 8x10 inches, though still soft here and there. Red areas are especially soft. ISO 3, images are actually reduced resolution images that make a sharper 4x6 than ISO 1, can make, the first time we've seen that happen using the "pixel-binning" strategy. ISO 6,, however, is pretty soft -- really, downright blurry -- at 4x6, so is probably better avoided.

Overall, softer images are expected of a waterproof camera, but compared to most other cameras in the category, the Pentax W90 does quite well. Shutter lag : Full autofocus shutter lag is impressive, at 0. Prefocus shutter lag is 0. Cycle time : Cycle time is fair, capturing a frame every 1. Pentax rates the W90's full resolution continuous mode at a sluggish 1. The camera also has some faster burst modes at lower resolutions or high ISOs 2.

Flash Recycle : The Optio W90's flash recycles in a moderate 5. The Optio W90 is a versatile camera in every sense of the word, pairing a rugged, take-anywhere exterior with a wealth of functionality. A wide-angle lens helps capture more of that mountain vista, while underwater still and video modes boost your photography below the waves. The camera is missing some pieces, such as optical image stabilization, and it's HD video recording leaves a lot to be desired.

Still, the camera does not want for features, leaving you plenty to play with when you're done subjecting it to nature's wrath. W90 vs TS W90 vs WG W90 vs W W90 vs HS.
