I had a WG for about four years. Jpg only, reasonable quality output. The usual plethora of farkles common to compacts. Robust except for a clip-on lens shade/macro focusing aid. The big drawback with waterproof cameras is that, sooner or later, the waterproofing will fail. It only needs a bump on one of the doors to disturb the seal when submerged and Fzzt! goes your investment. You might get away with a slight leak in fresh water but salt/pool water will kill it instantly. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
