Nice camera! I bought this pink camera for my 8 yr old daughter who enjoys taking pictures. She has slowly progressed to this level throughout the years. We started off with disposable and then handed down our hand me down cameras as we bought more advanced ones. She loved her camera and we find it to be easy to use for any age- colorful and has a lot more function then my Canon ELF. It even has a panoramic shot feature! It is a little slow on the shutter when taking a foto- but other then that it is awe...

| | | Nice features but too flimsy The camera takes very good pictures and movies.
Unfortunately I owned it for about a month before the LCD display cracked. Pentax considers cracked displays a non-warranty repair and the repair costs more than the new camera. Considering the camera wasn't dropped or abused, I was very disappointed.
This is my 4th digital camera. I have also owned several PDAs. I've never had a problem with a cracked display or any other mechanical failure until now.

| | | Mostly good. A couple of small complaints. First the positives:
- The screen is large and clear.
- Camera body is compact and seems very durable.
- The menus are surprisingly easy to navigate considering how much functionality is crammed into this tiny device. The manual is over 200 pages long; you'd expect this to mean the camera is complex to use, but it's actually very intuitive.
- Auto focus works well, even at very close distances, and the shots are clear and free of shake.
- Mounts up to a compu...

75% (3 of 4) Users Found This Review Helpful | | | This is an "ok" camera.. I bought two of these (on sale, way on sale) for my two girls... I haven't given to them yet. I am sure they will love them and for the price and to be just the kids camera they are great... They are cute and have a rechargeable battery which is what I love about my cannon cameras... I am a Cannon camera person and I love my canon cameras so if I where looking for a camera for myself this would not be the one.. The pictures are grainy when used with the zoom function and the flash creates a lot ...
