BEST MEMORY SAVER MONEY EVER SPENT !!!.......2007-05-12

This little camera is the cats meow. Not only does it take wonderfull pics with adjustments that rate right up there with the "big dollar" camers. It is the most rugged little thing i've ever owned. Last summer, '06, i crashed on my motorcycle. I had my Pentax Optio 33WR in my shirt pocket and when i went down my camera flew out of my pocket and went tumblin down the road. It traveled about 75feet down the pavement then tumbled off into the weeds.Was it fased or damaged?..NOPE, in fact, i picked it right up and took pics of the crash.It gits a solid 10 in my book.

A great camera.......2007-02-21

Small, good picture quality, rugged...I've taken this camera camping, canoing, hiking, biking, etc. It's covered with scratches, it's been in the rain, and yet it still takes great pictures. It fits in a pocket or backpack without any problem. I'd highly recommend this camera.

nonstarter.......2006-11-10

The camera came with no memory chip. The online store had no more of this camera or chips so the only thing they could suggest was to return it for a refund. Not a great experience.

Great Camera to Drop in Your Pocket.......2006-01-19

I got this camera to replace an Olympus C4000 that was too slow focusing and bulky for my needs (shooting my toddler). I have had it for about 9 months now and still think its great. One reason I bought it was the price (under $200) and the reviews I saw on the web (like dpreview.com). It is small enough to go in your pocket. It can be used in the rain without fear of damage. The fireworks shots I took , a couple can be seen in the user images for this camera, where unexpectedly good and done HANDHELD without a tripod using the fireworks program! There are a couple of cons, but minor and are to be expected for a camera of this type, ie. weak indoor flash (fix with software), sometimes takes long in low light to focus, no lens protection. But in all, would buy and recommend again. Make sure you invest in NiMH batteries and a charger and you will be all set! Happy shooting!

Great little camera for adventures.......2005-09-21

This camera really fits a niche if you like to hike, bike, canoe, raft, kayak, etc. From the rubberized corners to the sealed design, it's made for adventure. I've dropped mine, been rained on, and splashed big time- without problems.

Also, it has most features all other camera's have. Easy to use, rugged, good pics- I highly recommend it.

I use it often for my blog: www.riverrant.blogspot.com. Many photos from this camera are posted.
