Advantages: it's small and lightweight Disadvantages: everything else about it is very poor.
...This has to be one of the most abismal cameras I have ever owned. I originally had the PentaxOptio 60, but it went missing, and I bought the Optio E20 as it was recommended to me by the shop I went to, as being the model up from the PentaxOptio 60.
I take many photos of small animals, and I have to be honest and say that the Optio 60 was fabulous for this, however the Optio E20 is utterly useless. I can never get a decent picture with it. Everything is either blurred or grainy or bleached. Even static objects are dreadful. There really is nothing I like about this camera, and I would strongly advise anyone thinking of getting one to look elsewhere. The Optio 60 is a much much better choice.
here are some examples of the photos this camera has taken:

I have had this camera for a little over 2 months now and it is by far the best camera i have ever owned. I take it everywhere with me and i have captured some brilliant images on it; both still and video clips.
It is of a sleek and compact design,... more
When my Optio S4 was destroyed by my god-daughter I was distraught. The camera had been around the world with the wife and I (and bore the battle scars to prove it) and had never let us down, producing superb quality photos that the small size didn't... more
Digital cameras are getting cheaper and cheaper these days, and this snazzy machine fits nicely in the "affordable" end of the budget without being too cheap, or too flashy. Reasonably priced, and fantastic value considering the quality of the camera... more
I was given this camera as a gift, as my old camera is looking a bit dated compared to this, I love it personally, takes lovely photos and it does the job i need it to, i use it basically for family pictures and touristy type ones, i found it easy to use more
First thing is how small this camera is. Fits inside jeans pocket with barely a bulge. Even fits when it's in a case (case not included though). Picture quality is good 7mp and 3x optical zoom works well. Zoom pops out of body when switched on (even when more
