After moaning about the poor quality of the flash (indoor) photographs I decided to take my camera back to the retailer who sold it to me. They said I shouldn't expect any better but reluctantly agreed to send it back to Pentax for testing. I have fetched it today and nothing has improved . My old camera took better and sharper pictures.
I think they call the problem "noise" in the trade but basically the indoor photos are all grainy and not at all sharp. Tried it on different ISO settings but no improvement. Everything looks dull. I had no complaints about the outdoor photography. I bought it because of its compact size which I found really useful.

The display screen is much larger than on many small digital cameras and makes it easy to use.
The controls are very easy to use, when you click onto the mode screen there is a clear symbol for each type of operation and when you click on it, it gives a brief description of what it does which saves from having to consult the manual all the time.
The battery life is a real plus as I'd heard that many digital cameras ...

Pentax Optio V10
This is the best camera I have ever had a meaningful relationship with!
It's my 4th digital camera in as many years, and I do hope I manage to hang on to it for more than 12 months, as it is fab. I adore it. I want to take it out for a coffee and seduce it. My previous cameras were all Samsungs - no.1 was nicked, no.2 was smashed, no.3 just never worked properly and eventually stopped working altogether just after the guarantee ran out, so for no.4 I decided it was time to broaden my digital camera horizons and try a different brand.
My main criterion for choosing a new camera was first and foremost - price. I was also out to get one with a proper charger as I have found relying on AA batteries to be tedious and Tourette's inducing. I wanted a point and shoot with a few whistles and bells but not so many I ...
