Q**E
PENTAX camera excels
I find this camera to be very functional. I place it my kayak and have it ready for nature shots. I love that it is definately water proof. The quality of the photos are excellent. It's nice to not have to use my cell phone for all my photos.

So NOT Waterproof.
This camera is the worst underwater camera ever. I really wanted to love this camera. But how can an underwater rated camera die every time it gets wet? The warranty process is abysmal and takes forever. Most of the time is just telling me that I did it all wrong. I've had other underwater cameras before and I'm not a complete idiot. All I ever did was some surface level snorkeling or playing in a pool. It's just dead. Every time. I only go on vacation twice a year. I just wanted something that worked. I've had it a year, for two vacations - two brand new cameras (warranty one). It couldn't make it through one weeklong trip. I'm just not hard on things. Back to my onl underwater camera again. What a waste of money - on the camera, all the accessories, extra batteries (yes the genuine ones, etc). It takes great pictures otherwise, but so does my phone, which I'm carrying anyway and is half the weight and size. Do NOT waste your money if you want a snorkel camera. Really. Don't. You'll save yourself so much aggravation.

Small and mighty
Used for several trips like the size and takes great pictures. Bought this camera to replace my 35mm for traveling makes things much easier and lighter for my backpack. Used for a year now have had no problems.

Learn your settings before heading out to sea
Thus is a fine camera, especially as an adventure camera. It looks good and takes very good pictures underwater and above. It is a little heavy for its size but that is its tough exterior. I do have some challenges with all the options it provides. I have inadvertently pushed buttons in wrong order and found my viewing screen shrink up or disappear. Personally, I could have used a simpler camera, but I hope to grow with it.

Another underrated Pentax camera
I bought this as a companion to other cameras I own that use this same battery in this camera. This was used in rain and on the beach, places I didn't want to ruin a better camera. Photos come out great. It delivers what I would expect. It is a special use camera but if you are reasonable about what you want out of a photo, it could be used as your only camera. Although to be fair, its not entirely better than phone photos on any late model phone. I just prefer single use devices when taking pictures.

Wanted to love it
I did not use outside/traveling On paper this looked perfect. Waterproof, 20mp, 4k and webcam. Compared to olympus tg-5 This wasn't as sharp even with the extra mp, Auto flash/iso wasn't as smart The webcam was slow to focus and looked too cropped in. Maybe it shines more when dropped and water tested but I didn't test that… I would have liked better overall photo performance. It didn’t (at least mine didn't) come with silicone cover/protector like it shows in the amazon photos.

Threw almost $400 away
Attended an outdoor evening Christmas event. Everything was lit. Almost every still and video were blurred so bad they weren't worth saving. Been trying to accept this camera, but it is unacceptable. Ricoh made a budget piece of junk. Not bad in daylight. But still not very good. Worthless in any level of low light.

Bon compromis entre qualité d'un appareil compact et robustesse
Ce petit Pentax WG-8 n'a pas la qualité de résolution d'un Lumix DMC ZS100 a optique Leica (par exemple). Néanmoins, pour l'amateur de photo en nature ne requérant pas un haut niveau de résolution en mode téléobjectif ni une magnification de la lumière à l'aube ou au crépuscule... il fait le boulot.Excellent rapport qualité prix pour un petit appareil "tout terrain" somme toute (relativement) peu couteux pour sa gamme.

Excellent underwater video mode
The first thing I did with this camera was stick it in video mode underwater, in my goldfish pond ... and shot 2 minutes of inquisitive fish faces. The fish and I just love it!
