Advantages: Some great features, user-friendly Disadvantages: Can only use AA Alkaline batteries
...Internet, I came across the Pentax Optio E30. It seemed to fit the bill well in terms of price (just under £100) and had many of the features that I was looking for, such as video recording with sound. I ordered the camera through Tesco Direct because I had a £5 money off coupon to use, and received the camera in the post a couple of days later.
THE CAMERA
The Pentax Optio E30 offers a 2.4 inch LCD and 7.1 megapixels, providing high resolution ... ...WHAT YOU GET
The Pentax Optio E30 camera comes in a box with two AA batteries, a USB/AV Cable, dock insert and a convenient camera strap. You also get a basic User Manual and two CDs - one for installing software and the other, an Operating Manual. You will, however, need to buy a SD Memory Card separately, as this is not included with the camera. SD (Secure Digital) cards are sophisticated memory cards which link a whole range of digital equipment ...

Advantages: image quality, price, size, ease of use Disadvantages: image size, lack of indervidual settings
This camera is the perfect choice for anyone who wants a cheap holiday camera to replace the endless buying of disposable cameras (like me). This camera is cheap at only around £60 but don't let the price fool you because the whopping 7.1 megapixels is huge for a camera of this price. The large range of preset settings (eg. landscape mode, portrait mode, night mode, etc...) is useful for quickly selecting a mode when quick snapping is required. This ... ...impossible to change the indervidual settings (eg shutter speed etc...) but this is not important because this camera was never inteneded for professionals. This camera, I think, was made for the casual tourist who wants to take the odd photo to remember his holiday by and does away with disposable cameras and their developing costs. Also the size of the lens is a let-down. Because of its size, a long exposure is needed in order to let enough light ...

Advantages: Photo quality, battery life, ease of use Disadvantages: Auto-ISO rating can make te picture quality decrease
This is an excellent little camera for a bargain price.
Extremely easy to use with a wide range of presets, a decent auto focus system and a reasonable lens.
Unlike a lot of compact cameras you do get some options that are usually only available on 'SLR Style' cameras. Such as differing ISO ratings, shutter speeds and aperture sizes.
Although the latter aren't user controllable it does mean the camera will work in all conditions.
The ISO rating ... ...first you think it's an excellent feature. But quickly realise that unless you leave it locked on ISO80 the picture quality rapidly decays the higher the ISO rating gets.
However, being able to use different modes for photos and a macro function that works well means you can get some fantastic shots and use differing depths of field that you could typically only do on much more expensive cameras.
The batteries last a decent amount of time and I've ...
