    Strength:

    Great pictures Software is good The pentax zoom is great Seems sturdy Small and lightweight Easy to use

    Weakness:

    Kills batteries in live view Long delay in taking picture Could use a few more options Can not see the viewfinder in high light Does not recognize all SD cards

    To begin with the other reviews for this product are to a degree accurate. One, it does take great pictures at the 2 quality setting; the only one I have used so far in a setting area of 1-4. Second, the software is excellent-no problem so far. The viewfinder is only good indoors or outdoors in low light. On a sunny day forget about looking at it. If you combine the live view with a flash you really only get about 2-3 shots. Turn the camera off and the batteries do bounce back. This means you have to use the live view selectively. Not so bad if you think about it. You are able to use the camera right out of the box-it is easy. Could use a few more options. It did not recognize the first SD card that I put in it at 64Mb. Not good. The second one I bought, it recognized. The first one was recognized in another digital camera; an HP 3 series. Hassle! Had to return first card. Picture quality is excellent. Lastly when you go to take a picture the delay is about 1-2-3 seconds. Does not sound like a long time-it is. The pentax optical zoom is great.

    Strength:

    Very good pictures Value for your money Easy to use (I recommend the camera dock)

    Weakness:

    No manual adjustments LCD screen not visible in sunlight

    Very easy to use, very sharp pictures and correct colours under all conditions. Value for your money (669 euro including the camera dock)Other 4 MP camera's cost a lot more. An ideal camera for amateur photographers. Not to recommend for the advanced photographer : you can't make manual adjustments.
