This seems like a really good deal.

Around 400 new on Amazon, decent reviews

"until your pushed it", nice.

Max Resolution: Type - Hotshoe (P-TTL, high speed sync available), wireless with PENTAX dedicated flash, X-sync socket; Synchronization speed - 1/180 sec

What kind of resolution is that????

I want this thing, but I've lost track of the number of cameras I already own and don't know how to use to their full capability.

DPReview not impressed with the low light performance

So where is the HP touchpad for 89.99?

These Pentax cameras usually have good reviews, I don't shoot personally but this is the best deal I've seen on Woot for one.

Actually has darn good resolution (though the specs are listed as "other") - go figure...

Is this DSLR? I don't see since it quotes 11 fps...

does thing come with a trailer or maybe a tripod with wheels? how you suppose to tug it around?

25% of the 20 amazon reviews only give it 2 or 1 stars out of a potential 5 star rating.
Edit: 7 out of 22 so closer to 30%.

if this has a 1 year pentax warranty, is it worth it to also get the square trade warranty?

I believe they shipped their touchpad stock back to HP...

Damn!! I'm not the only one!

Clever, but I'm not falling for your ruse.

I wish I had the money.

That is a massive optical zoom. I just got a much more costly DSLR Nikon, but I'm so tempted to buy this....

? Sold out every where last time I checked

My point exactly. Spec alignment issue.

Digital cameras are dime a dozen anymore....if u don't already have one, you prob. Use your phone

So has everyone else...

My girlfriend got one of these last year. She loves it. It's bulky, though, and the big zoom requires a very steady hand (or tripod), even with the image stabilization. Still, it may be as close as you can get to a DSLR without paying DSLR money.

30% give it 2 or 1 star so I don't consider that "decent".

if by Bundle of Crops you mean cordless drill

It uses SD/SDHC cards. For best results in fast shooting you want Class 6 or 10 because this camera can make use of the faster speed of the card. But it will use Class 2 or unClassmarked cards for stills but not video.

The buffer is unspec'ed but I eduguess about 32 meg or so.

Well damn.
If anybody gets a case of buyer's remorse, shoot me an email to dedicated_dad_misc on ya-HOOOOOO-ooooooo...

For a camera with many advanced features like this one, I discount those low ratings. Some people just can't operate more than a simple point and shoot, or understand to use a fast class speed card in this type camera.

Sad I missed this one.

does this do camera hdr? I guess moot point, but the x-r they had today did but it was twice the price but new.

Do you also discount the reviews from the professionals like Stevesdigicams and DPReview who rated it even lower than Amazon?
