Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - I love this camera
I have taken this camera everywhere! I have snorkled with it in Hawaii, Costa Rica, Florida, and the Mediteranian. It has been dropped multiple times but I have never had a moments problem. I think my favorite feature is that it fits perfectly into your pocket. It is a perfect camera for an active person who doesn't want to carry another thing around in their hands and runs a high risk of destroying their camera. It takes a lickin and keeps on clickin!
It does have it's shortcomings however. The zoom isn't really amazing and the lag between when you press the shutter release butten and when the camera takes a picture isn't very good but it's the best you can expect from a point and shoot.
The quality of the photos are great. It is probably the best point and shoot camera anyone could ask for. It won't do the things the digital 35mm types will but then again, you can't just stick them in your pocket and drop them and take them underwater.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - 2nd camera
I love this camera! This is my second one. I keep my camera with me at all times so it really gets banged up. It eventually died after about 3 years... doesn't seem long but I really put it through a lot. I bought the same one again because I love it so much. Perfect for the beach and pool



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Did exactly what I needed it to do.
I purchased this camera while on vacation in Hawaii. It took VERY decent underwater and daytime pictures. The flash kind of drowned out inside close-up pictures, but I didn't use for night pictures much althought the Nightshot mode pictures worked well for me on a fixed mount. My underwater snorkeling videos made this purchase well worth it. I would not have some great shots & video with a disposeable camera. I ended up upgrading to the Sanyo Xacti, but miss my Pentax already. It was super easy to use and had a fast start up time (I think 0.7 sec).



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Nice little camera
Great little camera. Very reliable. Takes nice pics. I get it dusty all the time and its working fine.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Was Nice until it froze.
I bought this camera at the very beginning and was kinda surprised and happy with the underwater pictures it takes. It did froze a few times, but all recoverable ones. After a while it began to take overexposed pictures with horizontal lines. I know that it happened with several other people too and there is no garantie that it will be fixed. I would go with another options from now on.
