As a loyal and exclusive Pentax user since 1996, I thought this was a great buy. I must have been drunk. This camera is complete garbage. Within 2 months of ownership, the lens froze and would not retract. After getting it fixed, the LCD monitor now goes black whenever it wants to. Oh yeah, and it takes horrible, grainy, noisy pictures. The color tones are way off. You would be better off chiseling a portait into an elephant tusk. This camera is seriously a piece of junk. Pentax 10.1 mp optio This a nice camera, however, the two AA batteries fade fast and spares need to be carried all the time. For the price I believe I could have done better. Thank You Great Point N shoot. Easy Menus. Great for novice. I love it. I'm a simple girl. I don't read instructions. Don't know jack about cameras. I bought this Pentax Optio E60, slapped in two rechargable AA batteries, put on the strap, carried some spare alkalines and took on vacation. Camera took great shots of my airplane...even zoom. I just pointed and shot. Got great photos between palm trees. I let auto focus do the trick. After 50 pictures and four days I have two out of three bars left on the rechargeable batteries. I turned the camera on only for brief periods ten times. For close up shots for this review (see pics if I can upload) I did play with the easy menu and tried flower/macro mode. I make jewelry so I wanted clear close up focus ability too. This small camera does exactly what I want. Transfer: I tried the camera Pc interface, nothing happened so I popped out the sdhc transcend card (which I bought for under ten bucks with reader) slid it into the card reader and easily had my pictures. The camera sorted the pictures into file folders by date. You have date options on the camera. It does have facial function if people are in the photos. Has a few more features. This is the LOW end of the camera line. The zoom retracts so this is a very small camera. Yet the buttons are placed so they are easy to see and use. The camera layout is great use of space. LCD screen is huge. Buttons easy to get to and to individually select and use. Camera feels solid. NOTE: I would NOT EVEN think of putting it into a purse without a cover. The camera lens has a cover but not the huge lcd. It does take sd HC cards. It uses AA batteries or rechargeables. NOTE: A few have noted high battery consumption. Maybe it uses batteries up if you watch each picture, and play with menus a lot. Conclusion: I have had it one week and I'm very happy for a novice....that just wants zoom, close up and point and shoot. I bought this because: It does NOT have a proprietary lithium battery like the Sony Cybershot It does NOT use proprietary Sony memory Pro sticks. I want just want to point and shoot and not spend much money (I'm cheap). I wanted to use AA rechargeable batteries and SD HC card and easily transfer pictures without special software /hardware. This is a more expensive higher capacity version of the transcend sd hc card and reader I bought. Transcend 16 GB SDHC Class 6 Flash Memory Card with Card Reader TS16GSDHC6-S5W
