Just don't forget to post a couple of your shots here. It's an ancient Tunisian tradition.....honest

As I said:

From the K-3 manual Page 94:

Full HD = (1920×1080, 60i/50i/30p/25p/24p)
HD = (1280×720, 60p/50p/30p/25p/24p)

I don't understand how this is a black mark against B&H. If you don't agree with the forum, fine, I can understand that.
But everything I've read seems to indicate that they are quite a reasonable company to deal with. It seems odd to hold a grudge against a company because of one particular method of gaining interest and revenue.

Now if they supported child labour or international terrorism then fair enough.
Still, each to their own

I believe Full HD is 1080p and HD is 720p.

That's what triggered my thoughts that this might be a viable option. Although, being a cheapskate, I thought that the Pentax versions might be on offer as there's a new kid on the block.

On my driving expeditions I like to video the trip so that I can put a compilation together afterwards. Like this: link. I use my K5iis and iPhone for the general clips in city centres or when on foot and I used a GoPro for the vehicle mounted shots both inside and out.
On my last trip (the one in the link) I had a lot of problems with the GoPro 'locking up'. As such I lost a lot of footage.

Everyone seems to rave about the GoPro and, when it works, it's great. Although I wonder if I just got a bad one I am thinking about getting another for our next trip to Iceland.

With Ricoh releasing the new WG-4 it started me thinking that there could be some offers around for the Pentax WG-3 which, on paper, seems to match the GoPro and is cheaper.

So, after all this waffle, to my point: has anyone tried the video capabilities of the WG-3 and does anyone have any views on if I can use it in the same way I use the GoPro i.e. suckered to the outside of the car driving through water etc. etc.?

Still works for me

But it is show in the same orange colour as the DA*s
