Pentax Optio W30 7.1 MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom

#1: Pentax Optio W30 7.1 MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom Reviews!

We bought this camera as an upgrade to the pentax optio w10, which we loved and owned for 1 1/2. My husband went swimming with the w10 and forgot it was in his pocket so after 3 hours of swimming in depths of 10 feet or more he did ruin the camera. So we replaced it with the w30. I was so pleased with the upgrade. It was awesome. I loved the picture quality, sound, how many different settings you could put it in. It is an awesome camera. I never felt like I couldn't take it places. We took this camera in several pools and to Hawaii where we used it numerous times in the water. We also took it to water parks and even dropped it in the tub a couple times (not on purpose) but it worked great. I liked that i didn't have to worry. My daughter also put it through the wringer by dropping it off the table, pulling it out of our hands and throwing it, dunking it in the toilet. It worked great. We had it for a year and we would still have it but it was stolen. A very very sad day for us. I am no professional photographer and our pictures are just for our pleasure so for me the picture quality was great, even when printed. I am sure someone who uses DSLR and high quality camera equipment could find things wrong with it but it was perfect for what we were using it for. I ended up relacing it with a cheaper canon and couldn't be more disapointed. I used it for 4 months before tossing it and getting another w30.

Pros:
Take it anywhere
Durable
Compact
Easy to use
SD card
Good video and picture quality
Has a clock and alarm
Lots of choices settings

cons:
delay time between pictures (a couple seconds but nothing to bad)
makes a sound when you turn it on (some might not like that)

Cheaper then the W20, Quality and Price - Steve Schreiber - Ames, IA
After owning a W10 and W20 I expected the quality to continue increasing. I was disappointed with the W30. I like my W20 the best. The focus on the W30 sucks, even after you hold the button 1/2 way it will decided to re-focus often which delays the shot tremendously.
