camera.......2007-12-24

We bought this camera to replace the one that had a cracked screen. We really like this model and we know how to operate it. We are happy with the service

good camera.......2007-11-04

good small camera that does everything that it is suppose to. Also, i was supprised at the great features of the software.

Painfully slow autofocus ... .......2007-10-31

This camera is painfully slow for a digicam of this class. Autofocus
sometimes takes nearly a full second to lock on a subject. Forget about trying to use the LCD in daylight because it becomes completely washed out. The tracking autofocus is worthless as a tool because most subjects move too fast for it to work properly. Images lack overall acceptable color saturation and appear dull right out of the box. Recommend on indoor flash picutes to boost the color saturation in program mode and increase the exposure compensation.

If it were not for performance issues with the camera I would probably rate it as 4 stars. Its not good for anything but still subjects. Autofocus accuracy is off about 20% of the time. Better to put the camera in pan mode and make sure your subject is at least 7 feet away so you don't have to worry about time it takes for autofocus to lock in on a subject.

A big disappointment. Pentax can certainly do better. The optio a30 I hear is a better camera as they have addressed most of these issues.

Anything above ISO 200 is acceptable only for email pictures and not printed meterial. Noise at 400 ISO and above takes on a multicolored blue specks and are very difficult to remove with post processing software without altering the detail of the image significantly.

Lots of features for the price and seems like a good value but you would be better off purchasing something else. Suggest you go to DPReview and read some professional opinions.

great camera, easy to use, battery life isn't the best........2007-10-02

Overall this is a great camera. Easy to use and takes great pictures. My biggest complaint is the battery life. I have to re-charge this camera after each use or the battery dies the next time we try to take pictures.

pentex = junk.......2007-09-23

Nothing but problems with this camera, customer service is horrible. One word of advise don't buy this peace of junk! They even charged me to repair a defect! I'm going to file a complaint with the consumer protection agency.

Binoculars.......2007-05-24

Not a great item - doesn't do much and definitely not worth the price.

An Honest Product.......2007-05-14

These binoculars are really quite nice, very small and they work well, I would not say they are great, but for what they are and the price point they,re at they are well worth it, nice images, work easily,and small.
I,ve dragged them around with me all over, dropped them (in case) and still continue to work ok.

Good for a compact binocular.......2006-08-22

Overall it does what it is supposed to do. Compact size is a plus. The only complaint is the view gets dim when you zoom in a cloudy day.

Good price for the features.......2006-07-20

I bought this product just before a trip to Alaska - price was right, light weight and has good magnification. During use I noticed the Eye placement is not very comfortable, most of the time you will have to hold it slightly away from your eye - I wish it had soft receptacles like the other larger binocular that I have. Resting it over the eye would have provided a better support.

This would be a good buy if it is meant for light occasional use - standing on firm ground. Even at lowest maginification (because it is already 10x) there is a mild shake perhaps due to wind and unsteady hands.

If I had known how often I will be using the binoculars in a moving platform such as cruises, train and bus rides, I would have gone for one with optical image stabiliser.

Good bang for your buck.......2006-04-07

I bought these binoculars about a month ago and have been using it since. This pair does all that it promises, if not much more. The unit has a solid feel and does not look cheapy. The images at 10x are crisp but when you go 30x they get a tad dull given the 25mm lenses (I wont blame Olympus for this one since it is not a fault, just a way to cut size and costs. 50mm is the way to go if you dont mind the size).
I would've given it 5 stars had it not been for the zoom-lever; the lever sticks just a bit when I zoom to max almost giving a "grindy" feeling.

A couple of minor desirable features I'd like to see added:
1) Tripod support - if you have steady hands you are fine but at 30x even the slightest of shakes can make the image look blurry.
2) Lens caps - Given these babies cost me about $80 I'd like to see a pair of caps for the object lenses.

I will buy something with 50mm objective lenses and variable zoom if they came less bulkier.
