My new P&S ?
OK - plus points for the Fuji - and remember I've only read about it. Still to handle it - if I can find it locally it's a pocket sized camera , It's got Stabilisation , an inbuilt flash , lots of programme possibilities , incredible zoom and what , from reviews posted on Amazon , a good lens ....

My new P&S ?
Sorry to miss the point, I assumed you were a little more familiar with cameras than you say you are.:oops: I was only suggesting the WS60 because it's cheaper, will have fewer image problems with a lower count sensor and is waterproof. I agree with others on this thread that the current Optio...

My new P&S ?
Let's drag the thread back to the Optio range by pointing out that they're still often smaller and lighter than recommended alternatives.

My new P&S ?
It's a good job I have plenty of time :) I'm looking back at what RichardDay said earlier I have the P70 and the software based image stabilisation (same as the P80) is worse than useless, it can take up to 4 seconds to record the shot. Also the AF is nothing to shout about. Using either I invar...

My new P&S ?
When I open the two images above in PhotoME it shows the P70 to have used the central focus point but the CX1 is crossed through implying focus wasn't achieved. :?

My new P&S ?
In which case it looks to me like it has a front/back focussing issue; nothing you can do about that other than get it swapped for a good copy. At least you noticed before any return period was up! :)

W80 Poor Pentax Quality - Real Rubbish
Now I`m not wasting much time with this. My W80 came back from Johnsons after having a new lens assembly fitted and being checked to manufacturers specification. The picture quality is worse now than before. This begs me to ask the question are Johnsons up to the repairing and if so surely would not...

W80 Poor Pentax Quality - Real Rubbish
Thanks Richard Apreciate your support, well dissapointed after having sent it back once. Just can`t believe how poor the quality is after Johnsons repair. If I couldn`t get a decent pic after a repair I would not send it back to the customer. I would ask for help from the manufacturer. As for us...

Reviews for the new ones?
I was lucky, went to the local camera shop and a Pentax sales man was there with all the new compacts so had a play with all the cameras :D The W90 feels very robust, so if the image quality is good it certainly is an interesting camera. The Optio H90 also looks very impressive with his large ...

Optio M85 slide show on TV
I don't know the camera but is there a button marked "Info" on the back? If so, try pressing that as you play the pictures back and it should scroll through your display options.

Pentax I-10 Image Quality
The Optio I-10 is a quick and reliable performer all around. I noticed no significant delays in any aspect of the camera's performance, including on/off, menu access, auto focus acquisition, shot-to-shot time and flash recharge. In addition it was one of the more reliable compact cameras I've used. ...

Missing Exposure Details
That is a very valid point Gwyn I've been going back over some old Photos - many of which were taken on P&S Olympus and Kodak cameras not to mention a more recent HP Photosmart one and they have all had basic info in them . Most of them were originally in iPhoto 08 or even earlier :) The Fuji ...

A plea to Pentax
Dear Pentax, Please can you seriously consider producing a "performance" compact. /snip/ Large compact sensor (1/7" or even better 1/6.3") That's kind of small - 1/7" is a diagonal of 3mm - barely a webcam sensor. C Its in sensor speak rather than precise measurement. It stems back t...

A plea to Pentax
It depends what you're after John, after years using the little Rollei (it was my only camera for a good chunk of my life) I became quite adept at judging distance, although I'd concede that some sort of focussing aid is preferable. Of course a digital version would doubtless have a screen and live ...
