Customer Reviews

When I first started using the camera the colors appeared washed out compared to my previous Cannon digital camera. Once I switched from using the auto mode and instead used 'P' mode the picture quality improved immensely. I have used the camera for snorkeling in Maui, 4wheeling in the outdoors and as a general camera around town. The only issues is the lack of image stabilization, which you get in the Cannon digital waterproof camera, the shutter speed could be a bit faster and it's not the greatest at taking pictures at night. But the slimmer profile and solid container more then makes up for it.
I did have issues with the stock digital battery in the heat down in New Orleans. It would cause the digital screen to fade to white, at first I thought it was a problem with the screen itself which is a known issue with the Pentax digital cameras. But switching to the back-up battery resolved the issue. Out of everything included in this kit I mainly use the extra battery... and that is about it. The mini tripod is cool but I have not been in a situation where it would actually be useful.
But the camera does exactly what I want it to do. Be able to be dropped, dust proof, water proof and fits in a pocket.
