Excellent every day use camera [Posted on 2007-07-06]
My husband absolutely loves this camera. He has taken it to Schlitterbahn where it spent most of its time under water taking one great picture after another. He carries it in his pant pocket everywhere he goes. So far he's taken about 500 pictures since we purchased it for Father's Day. My husband is a professional photographer who wanted a camera small enough for a shirt pocket that didn't require that he carry additional equipment. In other words, he did not want another professional camera but one that allowed him to take great pictures in a flash (no pun intended). This is the one!
Oh, one more thing. He used the Fireworks setting during 4th of July. The pictures turned out great.
Great Camera - so many features! [Posted on 2007-07-07]
My boyfriend and I purchased this camera for my sister and her husband as a wedding present. They went to Costa Rica on their honeymoon and when they came back, not only were they talking about how great their trip was, but they couldn't stop praising the quality and features of this camera. The camera's waterproof feature made it perfect for travel in such a humid climate where other digital's just can't take the added moisture. They were also very pleased with the plethora of camera and lense modes available. My brother-in-law is a photographer and a university art professor so I was a little nervous about making this purchase for them, but they couldn't be more pleased with the camera, its functions, and the high quality photographs and videos that it produced.
Singing in the rain ! [Posted on 2007-08-23]
A great camera for travel or vacation ... small yet loaded with features and a nice size LCD screen. Did a lot of "looking around" and no one could compare with all this camera had to offer, ESPECIALLY the waterproof and dustproof features. Let it rain ... I'm good to go !
pentax w camera [Posted on 2007-08-29]
I liked my first one so much that i bought this second one for my girlfriend and she loves it as well. We have really enjoyed playing around in pools, rivers, and the lake with these cameras. You wont be disappointed. i do recommend a second battery for when the first one loses its charge, though it does have a pretty good battery life.
Good choice for harsh conditions [Posted on 2008-01-27]
I bought this camera for use while kayaking. It fits well into the pocket of my PFD. The programming choices available work well for my needs. Movie mode is nice. There is a problem with clicking sounds while taking movies that seem to come from grasping the unit with a finger on the battery/Sdcard cover while taking movies. The qualiy of the photos is not quite as good a the Kodak Z700 camera we have, but that is to be expected given the difference on optics. Overall I am happy with this unit. The only change would be to eliminate the clicking noises, which is avoidable if attention is paid to how the camera is held while taking movies.
