I have the previous model: Pentax 43WR which is JIS 7 but not designed for underwater use. It fits easily in a PFD pocket but I normally keep it in a Pelican case on the front deck, the same one I use for my GPS. You can see pictures taken by it at _www.baykayaking.com_ (http://www.baykayaking.com) . I have had problems with camera shake and downloaded some comments from the review board posted earlier that I will try. I think they are mostly a problem when using the flash. This camera uses two standard AA batteries and I have never used up my rechargeables on a trip, but I have not taken it on a multi-day trip having received it this last Christmas. I have a dive case for my Olympus 3030 so I don't personally see upgrading to underwater capability.
