Default How is Pentax waterproof camera battery life?

Hi,
I have been searching around for a waterproof camera

I am used to my Exilim Z55.. with amazing battery life. Heard a lot about Olympus Waterproof camera's problem wrt to battery life. However, for waterproof cameras, there is either Olympus or Pentax only.

Anyone using Pentax waterproof cameras. How is the battery life?(e.g. How many shots before charging required)

What is the current price for W20(this is the latest right?)?

Sorry, not able to help on battery life etc...

Can't remember, i think the price is $600+. It has a successor W30 which can photograph underwater at depths of 3 meters continuously for 2 hours (compared to the W20 at just 1.5m for 30mins). But don't know if it is available locally already.

Thanks. I found information on W30 too. Haiz. Still look ugly but not sure why review always seem better for Pentax despite the ugly look.

Olympus look really (really )nice but I heard it can only take 100 shots or less per charge for 725 or earlier model. Issit true?

770 can take 300 shots or less per charge.
