Great camera, ESPECIALLY for the price!
This camera works very well. I've only been using it in Kuwait, as that's my current location, so I can't rate it on how it does in the mountains and whatnot. The reason I picked this camera was because it had a 7x zoom without a retractable lense (there's lots of sand storms out here) so I wouldn't have to worry so much about dust. All in all, there are only two problems I've had with the camera, and they are small. The "automatic" mode (so the camera will pick which mode should be used for your pictures) isn't the best. Alot of the time, it wouldn't focus correctly. So I have to play around with the modes to figure out which one will work the best. The other problem is fluorescent (sp?) lighting. I'm pretty sure there's a setting for fluorescent lights, but I can't seem to find it. It should be noted that almost all cameras have issues with fluorescent lighting though, so I was expecting that. The zoom is great, and so is the video. The screen scratches pretty easily, so you should get a camera case for it (whoops) and the fact that you can change how many megapixels your pictures are, is a great feature. If I'm planning on e-mailing someone, I'll knock it down to a 2 or 3 megapixel setting. If I'm going to be using the pictures as a presentation on a projector, I'll use the full 8 megapixels. For the price of this beauty, I don't think there's a better camera available.

Wonderful camera!
I just purchased this camera and I love it! The pictures turned out great. Its easy to use and the 7X zoom is such a nice feature. The price was just right, too.

Great camera for anyone!
I have several Pentax cameras (digital and 35mm) and I find that they are truly built to last and are as user friendly as they possibly can be. This camera is my quickie pocket camera and has proven itself worthy of the Pentax name. The buttons are simple, intuitive and easy to read for any digital camera this size. The zoom is awesome, but I usually don't go past the 7x optical because the digital zoom is like most digital zooms, grainy. It isn't the fastest between shots, but it's usually fast enough even for sports, kids and pet action. It shoots nice little videos with decent sounds quality too. I have dropped this camera several times on hard surfaces, used it in rain and snow, and even dropped it in some water once and it still works great. The LCD viewer is like all LCDs in the sun, a little hard to see, but I find that the photos always turn out better back home than they looked on the LCD. Bottom line, for $200, this is a great, great camera. I wouldn't have been upset paying $300 for it.

poor quality
The picture quality was terrible. I tried several different functions but every picture I took was very grainy. Also the slider that turns the camera on and off moves way too easily.
