My Pentax-Optio has been really great, takes some great pictures

 

This is my third Pentax, only reason I have purchased so many is my 4 year old likes to drop them (repeatedly..not just once). I finally bought a hard case and expect this camera to have a long life. I went to Hawaii and got some great close up's of...

Pentax Optio60

 

After only 1.5 years, the camera stated "Lens Error" when I turned it on. There appears to be no fix to this problem. It also appears to be a common problem. To bad you pay over $200.00 (including tax) for a camera and only get a little use out of it!!!

Poor Choice

 

Two years ago I decided to buy a digital camera to stay up-to-date on technology. I did a bit of research via Consumer Reports looking for recommendations and features to look for in a camera. At the time, they were very happy with many different...

High Megapixles, light

Poor battery life, blurry, slow shutter

I absolutely love this camera...

 

I've had this camera for quite a few years now. I did have to replace it a few times because it jammed, but the warranty covered that and I received a new camera each time. The picture quality is amazing for such a little camera. I even have ariels...

A sad ending to a good camera

 

Great priced camera for all the features. Clear, sharp pictures, large LCD screen.

Failed after 14 months. Camera is kaput.

Pentax Optio60

 

Lucky for me, I got this new camera for a low price. It has taken some very good out-door pictures and some inside pics as well but as stated by other owners, it does lack the earlier Pentax quality I was hoping for. These cameras are a dime a dozen on...

Small and light even with external power supply. Easy to use and fairly good pics for the average guy. Don't buy retail because they are very inexpensive on the internet.

Power: requires massive amounts of power to operate normally and will eat standard batterys in minutes, not hours. Requires external power supply to operate for time exceeding an hour.

Pentax Optio60

 

The Pentax Optio 60 is my 4th digital point-and-shoot type of camera. I also own a digital Nikon SLR. I picked this up because I was looking for a very small compact camera with at least 6 MP, and video capability for a good price. I found a good price...

Compact size Light weight Video capable AA batteries (but must use high capacity NiMhs)

Cheap plastic case - probably not very durable Only fair photos right out of camera List price is way too high for the quality offered Poor relibility
