📸 Olympus PT-020 Waterproof Housing for C5060 Digital Camera Review

This is one of two cases for the Olympus 5060 camera. In my opinion, this is a very economical pair. In fact, the camera offers both a macro and super macro focusing position (3cm), good resolution (5 megapixels) and a manual exposure method.

THE SIZE IS A DEFECT BUT IT IS SIMPLE TO DOWNLOAD LIKE A BABY AT THE ENTRY AND THEN MANAGE IT TO GIVE A GOOD VIEW ON THE SCREEN WHAT IS OCCURRING
