Pentax Optio W30

[Rusty Garoutte]

After taking crap from so called friends about the fish I catch, and not having a camera to catch the moment, how good is this camera really?

[Cameron Mortenson]

Rusty…I’ve been really happy with my W20…and the upgrade features on the W30 make this camera even better.

[Rusty Garoutte]

Cameron, What kind of grass is that, that has both cork and what looks like Scott written on it?

[Cameron Mortenson]

Rusty…like most point and shoot cameras there is a delay between the focus and the actual taking of a photo, but I think that the W30 is quicker than the W20.

Yuhina will see this soon and give you more of a perspective of the W30.

Cameron, Very nice picture! I recalled that the reason I bought the w-30 was because your nice photos!

I think you need to read this thread, I posted my thoughts on the Olympus U770, which is in dirrect compertition to the W30, but has better specs??? well I think so…

Rusty, Attached several close up and underwater shots for your reference. W-30
The wide angle end is not wide enough to me…about 35mm (in SLR). I think 28mm would be more appreciated.
Sincerely,

Mark  





Slight distortion in the wide angle end.

$250.00, more of less, for a underwater/waterproof camera, I think I will take the plunge.
