Helpful consumer’s review
I bought the W20 early this year for a month we spent in Hawaii. It was a great camera. Long story short, I lost it in the ocean. I just picked up a W30 while on business in Hong Kong. It is much faster than the w20. I haven’t taken it underwater yet but the image stabilization works well and did I mention it powers up amazingly fast. Great product.
