Pentax digital cameras have problems, just like all the others. But unlike complicated camera, the Pentax ones come with clear instructions that specifically tell you what to do and how to do it. The indications are simple and the camera has intuitive options.

But once you have a problem with your Pentax camera, the downside is that you will not get it back so easily. Usually they keep it around 8 weeks to get it fixed. The safest thing is to do a test run with the camera when you purchase it. Make sure the lenses are not scratched and all is fine. This seems to be the biggest problem. Other than that, on some cameras with water proof capabilities, like Pentax W30, you will see that not all the models respect that indication. Some models are not water proof. So if you want an underwater camera it might be better to choose a high quality one and look for consumer reviews. They are very helpful in allowing you to form an opinion.

Also, some consumers have reported problems with the clear pictures. It seems that the pictures are not all the time clear. So read the consumer reviews before deciding on a model. You will see that some Pentax cameras are poorly rated on picture clarity and you may want to avoid them. So all you need is good judgment in getting all the information and deciding what to buy. Do not get pressured into a decision. Take your time to figure out what you want from a camera and the model that suits your needs. Once you have it in your hands, test the model as much as you can and report in any trouble you may encounter. Other than that, reading the manual is also a good to follow advice.
