Pentax RS1000 Digital Camera First Impressions Review

The RS1000 is a cute, compact camera with a neat customization trick: a removable front panel that holds a printed faceplate. You can use either one of the 6 supplied with the camera or print your own. The camera also has a decent feature list for a...

The RS1000 looks to be a cute, stylish camera that packs a lot into a very small space. About the size of a pack of cards, it shoots 14 megapixel images and 720p video. We'll have to wait to see how well this holds up to our battery of image and video...

Great Camera... When it worked

I bought this camera to bring on a trip to Texas with me, I charged the battery through a mem card in it and was off to the airport. Unfortunately the camera didn't work (it wouldn't turn on), so I returned it and got another. The second one worked...

Simple, practical and comfortable

It's a simple camera, which allows the user an uncomplicated handling. In my case I bought it for my mom and she has felt comfortable using this camera. It also allows to customize it by changing the appearance of the front panel. To begin to...

Almost Perfect

Love the products. Everything I hoped for ... only one small issue. The door for the battery on the bottom of the camera opens WAY to easily. So much so I had to rig something up to keep it from opening all the time.

Optio 1000 from Amazon

A great little camera from Amazon. Works absolutely trouble free. Recv'd in shorter time than expected. Perfect packaging. I can recommend this product and Amazon 100%. Good pictures are made by good photographers, not by using the most expensive...

Great Quality

Bought it for my girlfriend, she took a picture and cut it out for the face plate. She dropped it once also from my truck and it survived with just a scratch on the edge.
