Poor quality, retro feel, 2010-07-11
So I bought this because it looked retro, small, and lightweight. However, my compliments end there. I bought 32 GB for the camera, yet I can record only 12 SECONDS of video! On my old samsung (which I dropped and now only takes pictures in sephia) I got almost a half hour. Maybe this is because this Pentax records in HD... Perhaps, but not very useful nevertheless. As for pictures, I get I believe 85 in the lowest setting (computer display size). I really liked the idea of the 5x zoom, but once again this camera did not live up to its expectations. When I zoomed in all the way, everything became blurry. So disappointing. Good thing I bought this to take when I'm out and about rather than for "real" photographs.
Also, the package does NOT come with any memory and there is a notice telling you to not return this to the retailer but send it into Pentax if there's something wrong with the camera.
Great Little Package, 2010-06-30
I must start by saying, I also own a cannon digital SLR, but got this because I really just wanted something to carry around with me at all times. The ONLY thing I read so far in the manual was how to do the initial set up, other than that, I have been able to figure out pretty much everything. Just know that some modes do not allow you to disable face detection, and things like that and red-eye reduction DO add to the time it takes to take the picture, but otherwise, the shutter lag seems much shorter than other point and shoots my friends and family have.
I think the fact that they do not heavily advertise has kept it out of the spotlight, and probably kept the price down, but don't overlook this little gem. However, if you are looking for SLR quality, you still want an SLR. I will be going on a trip soon and will take BOTH because it is VERY easy to use this one and very easy to shoot in the movie mode as well, but I will still use the SLR for things like details of architecture. The sound on the movies does seem to pick up voice pretty well, even at a football (soccer) match!
In summary, this is a great little camera with some really simple to use features, but still no point and shoot replaces the speed and clarity of the SLR.
