Notes on the Pentax W80 and the Olympus 8000 Tough

Battery Life

Video

WINNER - Pentax W80 - 32 minutes

Olympus Tough - 17 minutes video at 30 frames per second

High Definition

The Pentax W80 can shoot High Definition at 30 frames per second, but is limited to 11 minutes per movie at this quality.

The Pentax W80 High Definition movie mode captures footage at a frame size of 1280 x 720 giving a more rectangular frame than the standard 640 x 480 30 frames per second mode. This results in a slightly cropped image - worth bearing in mind if you want to have a wide angle view to your movies.

Launch date News

Although we were hoping for a February launch, a few minor changes to make the Flymount EVEN BETTER have put us back a bit. We are now looking at March / April. We apologise for the delay, but rest assured it will be worth it. Join our mailing list for further updates.
