The Optio T20 has some innovative features, but unfortunately the overall package is somewhat lacking.

Pentax Optio T20 digital camera

 

The Pentax Optio T20 from the outside looks like any ordinary compact camera. Small and compact, the camera is just 19.5-mm thick, there is your standard 3x optical zoom, and a large LCD display on the back. However its not until you look closer that...

Touchscreen, compact size, easy to use

Slow to take pictures

We love the design, we love the concept, we love the picture quality, and we especially love the large touchscreen on the back, however we don't love the fact that it takes so long to take pictures that you miss the action. Even when we were just...

Pentax - Optio T20

 

In 2003 Pentax wowed the compact digicam market with the release of the Optio S. It was small and sleek enough to fit into a pack of cards yet offered a 3x optical zoom thanks to ...

Overall we liked the Optio T20, despite minor qualms about the design and placement of the zoom. An impressive LCD and effective touch-screen controls combine with some great results to form a genuinely impressive camera. It's reasonably priced as...

Pentax Optio T20

 

You need to go over instructions and get use to using the touch screen buttons. Once you get them figured out it's a pretty awesome little camera!

Large screen, lightweight, small size. Great picture quality! Fun camera, has lots of effects you can add to a picture. Very happy with purchase of T20. Also, Newegg has fast shipping and great service! I'd highly recommend Newegg and this camera

Takes a bit for flash to recharge,faster than some, slower than other camera's

Consumer review (newegg.com)

Could be best in ease of use

 

I'm going to go look at Sony DSC-N1 and N2 (again) to see if those are easier to use in the areas this one was short on. I definitely think these point and shoot touch screen cameras with less buttons are the thing for technically challenged people....

First off, I bought this for my Mom, to replace a more complicated to use camera. So I'll judge based on that criteria, mostly ; Ease of use, large screen, large obvious icons and text for controling. Uses SD cards

It's very small and thin, that would probably be a plus for most people. I think for my elderly Mom a larger camera would be easier in her hands. Switching between snapshot and movie mode takes 4 touches, that's way too much. Should be 1 or 2 max....

PENTAX Optio T20 Silver 7.0 MP 3.0" 230K LCD 3X Optical Zoom Digital Camera with Touch Screen

 

takes excellent pics, touch screen makes fast access to menus instead of scrolling through like other cameras, has lots of really good features, better red eye than most canon
