This review is from: Pentax IQ Zoom 105WR QD Date 35mm Camera (Electronics)
having taken this camera on several backpacking excursions, short and long, i have found it to be both reliable and easy to use in just about any situation. i have taken the 105WR through the silty waters of the Paria river, AZ, used it in downpours, fallen in quicksand with it strapped to my pack...and it still continues to produce incredibly clear photos. however, the camera is not always color accurate due to it's focal averaging system (hence the 4 instead of 5) but for a light, DURABLE point and shoot i couldn't ask for any better.

I would have given this product 5 stars for picture quality, but have deducted two because of its lack of durability.
