Opinion: I've had the W10 for a few weeks and I'm impressed, even though I haven't had
opportunity to try underwater photography yet. The most impressing feature of this
camera so far is it's superb and extreme macro mode. I'm able to make photos that
require a full set of extension rings on my old and trustworthy Pentax LX SLR.
Having always been fond of closeup photography of flowers, insects etc., this was a
very welcome suprise feature to me (well, I knew it had a good macro, but I had no
idea it would be that good), since I bought the camera mostly because of its small
size and its "beach usability".
The movie mode is very good, but it's a little disappointing that optical zooming is
extremely noisy. For general snapshot photography, I've had a few problems, but
mostly I'm very happy.
Problems: - The first camera had 4 connected dead pixels (or, rather, white pixels) after 1 week
of usage. Almost invisible on photos, but extremely irritating on movies. The dealer
replaced the camera with a new one.
- I'm sometimes a little frustrated by the standard auto focus settings in normal
program mode, I think I'll try out the alternative focus modes and see if I get better
results.
- On some rare occations, flash and focus (macro) settings stopped working - the
camera needed a reboot. Hopefully there will be a firmware update. If not, it's not a
big deal, since it's quite infrequent and since it's easily fixed by turning the camera
off and on.
- The "skin color" program must be optimized for asian skin color - gives strange
results with white skin
- I miss a pure "shutter-speed priority" program.
