First of all this camera is cheap for a digital camera never mind the quality and fucntions you get for your money. I bought it from Amazon for £100.
It looks pretty good except it does have quite alot of advertising on it for example, it says Pentax Optio twice in quite big lettering but to be honest I don't notice it at all as it is sort of engraved but the camera in general does look cool.
I often use the swivel screen and think it is great. For starters you can have the screen facing inwards when not in use so nothing can scratch the screen. I also use it for taking pictures above people's heads in which I can still see what picture I am taking. I used this alot at the Motorshow I recently visited.
The picture quality is great. I have pictures on the computer and get some printed off at a shop and both are really clear and has the right colouring.
There are alot of fucntions which can be quite useful but also annoying when you just want to take a picture and cannot be bothered finding the right function for the picture but do not fear there is a general funtion for just shooting pics which I have on all the time.
It also has a great feature that you can take movie clips which with a 128mb memory card like I have can take very long clips but unforunatley their is no sound. With that memory card it stores about 60 pics.
Overall a very good camera, good features, good picture queality and a great price. No major disadvantages with the camera.
