I don't know how many backflips are here but I can tell you right now there is lots... I suppose I could have done a lot more if I had the camera rolling more often, so much fun they are. And no, I cannot backflip on the ground.

San Diego, La Jolla, Del Mar
La Jolla is for the rich because it's so beautiful!
Take a dive and see the Garibldis, the very fishes which are illegal to kill in the US.
Ahh what happens in California, stays in California!

Backflip 3
Yet another invaluable stunt footage lost forever... Pentax users be cautious, Optio w30 will focus first and then start filming, it will not refocus during filming. But other than this stupid fact this camera is awesome! :D

Dedicated to Pentax Optio W30
The first camera I owned. The BEST camera I owned!
The camera I use to make this show is Pentax Optio W30. This is one of the best waterproof digital cameras in the stores apart from Olympus Stylus SW 770. The other option you have is to buy a water-resistant camera case for almost the same price and then take that clumsy thing around!
Advantages
- WHAT MADE ME BUY: 30 frames per second video (unlike Olympus 770 with only 15 fps)
- (Of course) Waterproof!
- Extremely compact, easy to handle
- A LOT of features that are easily accessible.
Disadvantages
- Only goes down 3 meters under water. Olympus goes down 10 meters.
- Pictures are slightly grainy. Olympus is smoother and better.
- Extremely slow with focusing, especially in the dark.
- Video does not refocus while filming, it will focus on whatever is in the first frame and then start filming and never refocus again. That's why movies done entirely UNDER the water will often be out of focus, because it focuses on god-knows-what-can-see.
