Somewhat disappointing!2003-12-31
We purchased this camera about a month ago. All the reviews we read at numerous sites indicated it was a good choice. This camera only seems to take crisp, clear pictures when you are outdoors in relatively sunny weather. The worse the light, the worse the picture quality. One of the biggest things that bothered us was how bad the red eye was. On the same occassions I was using my digital camera and an SLR camera which resulted in little to no red eye. The Pentax had noticable red eye in every picture, each time we used it on people or animals indoors.
WOW!!!2003-07-23
I am a college grad. I got this camera because for months i had been using one (a good but cheap aps fuji) that had no zoom. I wanted something that could zoom. and boy can this zoom!

i love it. most of the pictures i have taken have come out great. from what i can see it has good battery life too!

I HAVE EVEN TAKE GREAT PICTURES OF FIREWORKS AND NIGHTSCAPES!!(no flash needed)

Highly recommened.

please note the one downside is the TINY viewfinder so beware if you ware glasses as i do. it does have an adjustable diopter but its more pain then its worth, just keep your glasses on.

Just like everything else they keep getting more and more advanced, and shrinking in size. Even though we have seen much advancement, the price keeps getting more and more affordable. Professionals are not the only ones who can now enjoy the wonderful benefits of a professional -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A professional digital camcorder allows creativity and quality to meet, and the cost is far lower than it was only a few years ago. Even in the late 1990's most professionals were using Betamax professional quality analog recorders, though the professional digital camcorder was starting to come into its own back then. In 1997 at a press conference in Roswell, New Mexico during the 50th anniversary of the historic alleged UFO crash ...
Driving with a cell phone is a lot less dangerous than driving on prescription drugs
There's a lot of debate today about the safety of using cell phones while driving. Statistics show that those who use cell phones while driving cause a much greater percentage of accidents than those who avoid using their cell phones. And the studies have shown that it's not just the physical coordination required to punch numbers into the cell phone while you're trying to work the vehicle that causes accidents; it's actually the lack of attention resulting from driving and talking on the cell phone at the same time. It seems that when you're distracted, you're more likely to cause accidents. In terms of public safety, it's probably correct to say that banning cell phones would reduce the number of traffic accidents. But I think, more accurately, it depends on the person. Some people are operating on, shall we say, lower power CPUs in their heads to begin with. They might be zoned out on prescription drugs, and when you add a cell phone to the equation, they do become a danger to the ...
