Taking that on board Don, I'd go for the WG-2 as it is quite compact and can go with the family anywhere without worrying about it getting wet or damaged. Very liberating and something that extends the repertoire of the cameras you both own.
Thanks John it's one I have got on the narrowed down list.Taking that on board Don, I'd go for the WG-2 as it is quite compact and can go with the family anywhere without worrying about it getting wet or damaged. Very liberating and something that extends the repertoire of the cameras you both own.

Have to say Don that the only compact I own (and a couple o years old now) is the Panasonic DMC FX550 and that is a great little camera with it's Leica lens.
As John says - there is always the Q - and I love my Q but had not considered that as a point and shoot as we tend to think of a compact with a do it all lens.
All said - John's point that it is for your better half should be taken in to consideration - have you actually asked her what she wants it to be able to do and what is important to her? You may find she really wants a K5

We are after something a bit more compact than the Q and simple, pocket size but with good quality shots, family snaps and baby stuff.

Thanks Carl, other options are being considered some of the Panasonic range have good reviews but most of the stuff I have checked out on the point and shoot complain of noise at anything much over 200 ISO.

Witch of the point and shoot pentax cameras would people recommend as a replacement for my wife's old Olympus c-770??

Very nice shots of a beautiful bird! Could I possibly ask what lens you used for these?
