Review title: Has inherent "Battery Depleted" problem. Effectively useless.
Product review: My friend let me borrow her Pentax S40. I used it for about 10 minutes on a fresh set of alkaline AA batteries. Then upon starting it up I got a "Battery Depleted" message on the LCD and then it shut off after about 1-2 seconds. I tried switching to other brand new batteries with the same results. I got on the net and researched "Pentax S40 Battery Depleted" and found many other people encountered the same problem, only no one found a solution and apparently there is no support from the company. One person said that it is a mechanical problem. Furthermore, there is no option for "factory reset" in the owner's manual.I have to conclude that this product is defective and the company needs to do a recall on it.DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT.
