Just got my new Pentax W10!!!

Just got my new Pentax W10 waterproof digital camera. It came last night while I was at a ballgame. Seems the UPS truck broke down & threw the delivery late, so I need to learn to use it today. Now that I will be taking some high quality pictures, I will be able to post them. I ought to understand the use of this thing pretty well by the Michigan Fish-In, so we'll have plenty of pictures for sure.
The picture posts I've seen here taken with this camera are what made my decision for me. Thanks again to my FAOL family members who had posted!

Good choice, Mike. You just cannot go wrong with Pentax products. If you don't have one you should set up a free account with Photobucket.

I have to get a nap so I can take Amy to see Millersburg's fireworks tonight.

So Mike, where did you end up buying it??

Mark,
I always do a lot of research before purchasing, & here is the deal I got:
camera with all items, including battery/charger & Pentax USA factory warranty plus the following package...
1 GB 80x SD memory card
SD card reader
Image recovery software to retrieve deleted pix
Spare lithium rechargeable battery
Pentax Optio W10 silicone skin
Memory card storage wallet
Tabletop tripod
Cleaning cloth
1 year subscription to PC Photo Magazine
I also paid extra for 2nd day delivery
Total= $343.95

ps: Their customer service is EXCELLENT, & they sell NO gray market stuff. I talked to Enzo Rosas at Cameta before I purchased my Maggies' Nikon Coolpix L4 & got my W10 through him...he answered all my questions BEFORE the 1st sale, & has earned my respect & business, use him if you can!

It will take a bit to get the underwater photos down but here is a grayling and pike from this weekend:
