Customer Review: Very Poor Digital Camera
My wife bought me these binoculars for Christmas. It has finally warmed enough to try them out, DISPOINTING! The camera has no focus dial so you have no ability to get a clear picture no matter what distance you are from the subject. The binoculars are not that bad, just a little small. So save your money because these are not worth the price.
Customer Review: too little for me
-2 stars for size
i couldn’t get my eyes placed on the rubbers right so stablization for me was not possible..
probably ok for a small female or on a tripod but a tripod defeats the purpose

Customer Review: A nice upgrade from the K10D
I highly recommend this camera. After a year with the K10D, I recently upgraded to the K20D. The K10D was fabulous and I loved it. But I really wanted the LiveView mode and the higher resolution of the K20D. I was disappointed with LiveView though. It is mostly useless. It is nothing like a typical LiveView on most new compact digital cameras. On the K20D, you flip a lever to activate it, at which point auto-focus no longer works (without pressing the AF button and waiting several seconds while the screen goes black and it refocuses… on “something”). You can manually focus, but that can be a challenge based on the LiveView screen, especially in bright light (and the viewfinder is blank when LiveView is active). After taking a shot, there is a several second “blackout” period where the screen goes black. This is the #1 annoyance in my opinion, and it’s the main reason I never use it. You can continue shooting while it’s black, but you won’t really know what you’re shooting. So my use of LiveView is limited to the occasional self-portrait shot where I need to set the camera on the ground. It is sometimes “slightly” useful to frame a shot in that situation. (A flip-out screen would make it much more useful.) So aside from my complaints about LiveView, I do love everything else about this camera. The higher resolution and better quality image sensor is definitely an improvement over the K10D. At the highest resolution, pictures are much larger, of course. (I shoot in RAW, so I bought a 16GB SDHC card, which holds about 600 RAW images.) There are a few other “cool” new features (like a 21 fps low-res shooting mode), but I really haven’t found any practical use for them. The picture processing engine on this K20D is faster than the K10D. In summary, if you want the higher resolution, buy the K20D. If 10MP is enough for you and you don’t care about novelty features, buy the K10D. But you will be happy with either of these great new Pentax cameras. For the next model, I’m hoping for “real” always-on LiveView and a flip-out screen!
Customer Review: A great camera, but not perfect.
In March of 2008 I bought a K200D, my first DSLR. Loved the camera, but wanted more control and more options. So, I then bought a K20D.

Navigon 3.5″ Protective Hard Shell Case This stylish and durable case features a molded hard- shell exterior to keep your GPS device secure. Nylon interior lining provides additional protection; a zipper provides easy access.
Customer Review: WASTE!
This case is NOT hard. It is just a little purse with a zipper. Do not waste your money!
Customer Review: Average at best
I got this case for my Navigon 2100. It looks cool. Gray and orange is not bad. The material for the case is decent both outside and inside. The zipper sucks big time. Very cheap and hard to open/close. Like other people said, the case is big and your unit will move around in it. Just your average case, something that I needed.

Garmin Carrying Case for eTrex and Summit (010-10314-00) Save your eTrex Summit and other eTrex models from some of the scuffs and scrapes of everyday use with Garmin’s eTrex Carry Case. This carry case covers your unit while in storage or while on duty in the field. Its nylon material ensures durability and lasting protection.
Customer Review: fits well
Like others, I’m tough on handheld items. This case, although not armor, will help in reducing damage to your GPS. It will clip on your belt and fits snuggly to the unit. The screens can be easily read though the plastic window.
Customer Review: OK, but not that useful–Updated!
I received this case with my new etrex Venture. If came in a bundle with the Mapsource software, a USB cable and a lanyard. However, on my unit at least, the belt clip slides into a pouch on the back of the unit. The first time down the trail, the case slipped off the belt clip and dropped softly to the ground. Not acceptable! It will provide protection for your unit and the screen, the buttons are accessible, but not being able to clip it *securely* to clothing or a pack limits it’s usability.
Update: I just received the Micropak case from GPS Outfitters (on Amazon but currently not being sold). It’s a big improvement–a belt clip and a belt loop, pockets for accessories, a carry strap, attachment loop–and the Garmin etrex *with* the supplied case fits in it snug as a bug.

Customer Review: Navigon 2100 is a nice toy, but
mostly is a toy. The map data is shaky. Roads that were completed years ago are still in error. The points of interest are sparse and way out of date.
