Pentax, it seems, is a brand that likes colour. And why not? After releasing the K-x in an impressive selection of rainbow hues, the brand's waterproof compact will soon be available in fiery orange.

Already on sale in green and black, the W90 will now also be available in orange, and with exactly the same tech specs as the other two versions.

The W90 comes with a carabiner clip, which is handy for attaching the camera to a bag or belt hook. The spec is relatively standard stuff with a 12-Megapixel sensor, 28-140 mm zoom, digital stabilisation, a 230,000-pixel 16:9 screen and a 720p video mode (with mini-HDMI connection). It's also waterproof to 6 metres and shockproof to 1 metre.

In our test, the W90 got an overall score three stars, notably due to its bog-standard picture quality and screen.
