This is a superb little camera, ideal for holiday fits in your pocket and most importantly takes fantastic photos. I would recommend you pay extra for a larger SD card, as the high quality photos take up a lot of room, although this can be alterered on the settings.


THE BAD BITS - only two I have found and Pentax seem unable to explain why.
1) the camera will tell you how many photos you can still take, BUT NOT, how many you have taken, as it does not deduct any deleted ones off the total as you go along, who knows why ?
2) you can take the time to set the time date etc. but for some reason this cannot be put onto the printed photo either front or rear, even if you change the setting. You have to wonder - why bother set the time and date dont you.
Apart fron that it is very good and I would recommend it to anyone.

This camera, which does fit in an Altoid box, has been a pocket companion of mine, ever since I bought it to replace my Pentax Optio S4. Yes, it is slow to the starting gate, but, in the bracketing or burst mode, there is some relief from this problem. That slowness cost it five stars from me. Intuitive controls, easy to learn. Great color. Prints are excellent. Low light and bright light handled about average. I’m a Canon fan for larger point and shoots, and have a digital Minolta SLR (yes, I know, they went out of business)–but this little charmer is what I carry day to day.
