 Very Pleased November 23, 2008
We bought this to take to Jamaica for our honeymoon and loved the ability to take it in and near the water to get shots that I would never take my DSLR. I knew going in that it has limitations and its image quality does not compare with a DSLR, but it did surpass our expectations as long as you had quality light and used its features accordingly. Example: For low-light shots, set the camera on a stable surface and use the 2-sec timer to take the shot instead of handholding it. We look forward to using it next summer in our pool!
 I just love it November 16, 2008

I've only used it a little bit, but so far so good. Easy to use, waterproof, and takes great shots, especially with the macro feature. A great value and I would recommend it to anyone with an active lifestyle that needs a small waterproof camera.

Nice little camera for skiing or kayaking. Takes great pictures and video. One draw back to waterproof cameras are they don't have a view finder. Glare can be an issue without one.
 Poor battery life October 17, 2008
My last waterproof Pentax was the W30, i recently traded up to the W60 based on my positive experience with the W30. The battery life on the W60 is horrible compared to the older model. Be sure to have plenty of spare batteries! This may be my last waterproof Pentax.
