I had to send the camera back; because, the camera got moisture inside and stopped working. The lens also had issues fogging up in humid conditions. My camera never went below a few feet. So I do not know if this is a build quality issue or a design problem with the camera. When working it took great pictures and we had fun using the camera for some surfing photos. The video record feature is also very nice and easy to use. It is a good action camera that can get wet. As to waterproof, I am not so sure. Hope this helps, Phil

Meghin, I don't believe it was advertised as water proof, it may help but if you dropped it in a swimming pool or bath tub, water would most likely get into the case where the speaker is and through the camera opening.

No, it is water resistant, not water proof. It can handle rain and sweat but not being submerged

Yes, it is weather sealed/water resistant. Like C. Finchum said, you do need to pair it with weather sealed lenses in order for this to still be true. Pentax makes a variety of weather sealed and non weather sealed lenses.

The Cameras for the most part are waterproof. I put silicone grease on the power and video connectors. I have had them over six months outdoors in the rain and snow with no problems.

The camera is NOT waterproof, but it does come with the waterproofcase, I was too afraid to try it in the water during my trip to Puerto Rico.

It is water resistant but not water proof. So I would say the answer to your question is no.

I wouldn't recommend that. I went less than ten feet in water and it ruined the camera. Fortunately I was just within warranty and it was repaired for a small fee but I haven't tried it in water since.

It appears to be water resistant bc the camera and speaker on back are exposed. I love the case but it was messing with my reception inside metal builds. Would sometime have no service at all to call or receive calls.

it has a company warranty for 1 year under proper use. the problem with just about any water proof camera this small is the various compartment doors. Being rubber sealed, it relies on a very clean seal to work well. If you do not take care of the seal, it will leak. It is a tough argument between the company and customer about who is at fault there, i lean toward user error. Proper care is to make sure the seal is very clean, never open it in dusty environment (most environment are dusty to some degree) and the doors closed tightly and properly.

I would say yes, it appears to be waterproof. It is designed to operate outside the vehicle, and mine has been through rain a few times. A friend with the same camera has hers attached to the top of her vehicle. However, when the weather got close to freezing, I got lines across the screen instead of a picture -- the picture came back when the weather warmed up a little.

My understanding is that it is not: however, they do provide the water resistant case. I have not tried it when actually raining and did notice that the camera got hot when it was on. I'd recommend calling them directly if you can get through.

They are rated for outdoor use, so yes they are water-proof. My are tucked up under the eaves of the house. It's a very good camera.

I wouldnt recommend getting it wet, however it made it through quite a bit of rain with the battery charger hidden. So, yes it is fairly water resistent

Yes. The AW 11-27.5 mm and the AW 10 mm lenses that are shipped with this camera are both waterproof.

No, it is not waterproof. It is splash and dust resistant. In other words you can take photos in the rain or at the beach using one of Pentax's sealed lenses. You cannot submerge the camera in water. It is a solid well constructed camera. I've had mine since 2008 with no problems.
