Experience with the Pentax WG-1 GPS
Hi Axel. I have a WG-1, although have not had it for long. I bought it to have something pocket-able and rugged, especially for climbing, when my hands are usually covered in sweat and chalk and a DSLR would be less practical. I haven't yet tested it a great deal - not underwater as yet, but I have ...

Best Optio for a 5 year old
The first camera I got for my son (aged 4 at the time) was the Optio E35. I used lithium batteries and it went great guns - one set lasted about 6 months! Now the zoom buttons don't work. Next birthday (8th!) he will be getting an black Optio I-10, cost me £78 brand new. I will see hew he does w...

Pentax Optio X90
Thanks for the feed back Michael and pleased your happy with your camera. Im considering buying a bridge camera now and have tested the Fuji hs 20 and the panasonic fz 45 as well as the new sony hx 100v and all gave nice photos as far as I can see any way but the panasonic realy impressed. Ian

Trying to charge Optio E85, but camera got hot ?
It is easy enough to find 3rd party batteries and chargers for your Optio. I would say cheap as chips, but you have not been near my local chippy lately. :evil: You asked: any idea what I'm doing wrong? and the short answer is not going to be very kind. 5v into a 3.7v battery? Ouch! And you wer...

New Optio WG-2
Does anyone else know what a Facebook Feed is? Sounds like an American-style bookshop & café. :) I have had a Facebook account, for approx two years, but nothing ever appears on it other than a list of names asking if I want to make these people my friends, why would I, as I don’t have a clue who t...

New Optio WG-2
I followed the BIN link to see how much it was. Took me to the American web page so I naturally went to the lens link. Imagine my surprise ... Mount Adapter K(35m m Screwmount to Bayonet) $21.95 UK Price (SRS) £64.99. I know they went through the roof a while back but I presumed the same wo...

New Optio WG-2
Looks like a good bit of kit, I used to carry a p30 and a 28-70 and associated kit in two dry bags in a sea kayak. Might look into this as there are rumours of the paddle group getting back together:)

compact with a decent viewfinder
You can fit an external viewfinder to the Q. One can, but it is a dedicated optical finder that matches the field of view of just the 8.5mm prime lens and costs over £200 at present. I wanted something similar before Christmas to upgrade an ageing Casio. I went for this one: It's OK in that ...

compact with a decent viewfinder
John. It takes very little research to establish your conclusion. More importantly is the question...Why? Commercial reasons!! I wonder. I understand that, such has been the negative response and outcry from members of Which that there is now a petition being raised to send to all compact c...

compact with a decent viewfinder
I'm not so sure that the Box Brownie is a good example of a useful viewfinder, the frame finders are probably easier to use. I'm short sighted and it makes using the back screen incredibly easy, without need for any glasses at all. Viewfinders on compact cameras are not usually much good, with...

compact with a decent viewfinder
If she sees a camera she likes the look of, the importance of the optical viewfinder may recede somewhat! I can understand why someone would want an OVF, but the truth is, the OVFs on compacts (excepting the X10, which is probably too big / expensive) were always pretty poor and a screen is much bet...

compact with a decent viewfinder
The consumer magazine Which? has been running a campaign for some time: "Our digital camera viewfinder campaign continues…" ... "Bring back the viewfinder". . I don't know if it is having any effect. Occasional mention of Pentax cameras in the comments, but Which? seem to be aiming mainly at the...

OptioS1
Hi, Sometime back I asked about shutter lag on my wifes Olympus compact, which is decidedly slow. In fact our 3 year old grand daughter has started to play the same games as my son, ie wait until the shutter fires then move out of shot -- result no one there but a grinning little girl, out of sh...

WG-2 Stomp Test
Whatever next??!!... A drop test from the back of a Hercules Transporter plane as it flies over Tora Bora in Afghanistan?..:shock: I suspect that Pentax would have involved somebody such as the International Standards Organization (ISO), or equivalent to test this model to destruction in order to...

Go to DEVICE MANAGER (if you are running Win 7, type that exact phrase in the search bar at the START window). Now, click on it from the list. This will now display all your devices. If you have anything with a YELLOW WARNING TRIANGLE (most likely the USB CONTROLLERS if you do have), right-click on ...

New Pentax Superzoom: X5 (Photokina Leak)
I've owned bridge cameras, noisy above low ISO, burnt out highlights, poor detail, cheap glass. I moved on to Pentax DSLRs. Never looked back.

New Pentax Superzoom: X5 (Photokina Leak)
The 1/2.33 is ane example of the semi-standard - if slightly bizarre - way of indicating sensor size: "Sensor formats of digital cameras are mostly expressed in the non-standardized "inch" system as approximately 1.5 times the length of the diagonal of the sensor. This goes back to the way image ...

X-5 Price
To be honest, I don't wait for reviews, I just assume that it will be fine. I've used the X90 extensively and it performed very well. I've used the back lit sensors in other Pentax cameras and they have been fine. Put the two together and there's no reason why the X-5 should not be fine also. ...
