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.

Dream cam. 7x zoom in your pocket.
Great bargain. I love my new Pentax. The zoom is great and the camera fits in my shirt pocket, perfect combination. Battery life is fantastic, the best battery life I've ever seen.
Pros: 8MP, 7x (very nice zoom, great idea for such a small camera), size is perfect for travel or just fun events, battery life.
Cons: Just a minor thing, it took a bit of time to get used to holding due to it's small size. At first you feel like your fingers are in the way. Definitely worth getting used to.

My fourth Pentax
I didn't go looking for another Pentax. I bought a new laptop, which came with Windows Vista. The upshot was that I could no longer download photos from my old Pentax Optio. So I did my homework, looking for a lot of optical zoom, lots of pixels, big LCD screen, small package (I loved how the old Pentax fit into an Altoids box), small price. This one came out on top, so I bought it sight unseen. It is a wonderful camera, has amazing zoom capabilites, has anti-shake software and takes great time exposures/night shots. The battery lasts a long time and the camera feels great in the hand. My only complaint is that blues are too, well, blue! I love the camera and always carry it with me.
