 It is the Greatest at what it is expected to do... February 4, 2009
I have had a WPi for 4 years now with the silicon skin (saves lots of scratches) and I find myself reaching for it instead of my DSLR again and again. Plus I am much more likely to have this with me in the boat, bicycling, hiking etc.
There are limits to how deep you can go, but so far I have not flooded it. Underwater video is cool, complete with sound. Picture quality is good.
I cannot see the view screen in bright sunlight and while I can guesstimate the image, if I want to change modes, I am out of luck unless I shade the screen. But the compactness and functionality makes up for these limitations.
Now... how can I justify the WP60?
watersports camera April 6, 2008
I purchased this camera for watersports only. Have used in on my boat in rough weather and I have found it small, compact, and easy to use. The quality picture digitally is good but have not yet printed. Am very happy with the camera.
I love this camera February 7, 2008
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.
2nd camera December 28, 2007
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
Did exactly what I needed it to do. November 19, 2007
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).
