The Best 3-Megapixel Camera You'll Never See In Stores

Date of Review:  Mar 14, 2005
The Bottom Line: Go out of your way to find this gem and you won't be sorry!
Review: What Made Me Decide To Get One

I own a FujiFilm S5100 4-megapixel digital camera. It's a great camera, but its rather chunky size makes it hard to slip in a pocket for point-and-shoot convenience. I decided that with the price of...

Date of Review:  Jul 22, 2004
The Bottom Line: A very good camera for the wife and kids so you won't get missed out in photos on trips, as well as a standby camera.
Review: I've had it for less than a week and already I am impressed. Its small size and weight is very handy for totting around in a small belt pouch(non-proprietory)around everywhere for that Kodak moment. I like its shape, no sharp edges which cut, its...

Optimal Image Quality and Speed

Date of Review:  Aug 25, 2004
The Bottom Line: This is a very good camera with the best image quality you can expect from 3 Mpixel.
Review: I happened to buy this camera for a student association and I got this camera for a few days.

I am truly happy with the quality of this product. The pictures it takes are the sharpest I've seen from a 3 Mpixel camera of ANY MAKE. Trust me,...

Better than most 4-5 mega-pixel cameras

Date of Review:  Mar 3, 2006
The Bottom Line: I would recommend this camera to anyone wanting an easy to use digital camera that produces beautiful pictures>
Review: I purchased this camera on sale, in fact it was the display model, but it still came with the same warranty, so i decided to give it a try.

I will say that this was my first digital camera purchase, although I have used many friends and...

Top Contender In Its Class

Date of Review:  Feb 15, 2005
The Bottom Line: An easy to use digital camera which works equally well for new or advanced users. Offers picture quality and features on par with the next higher class of models.
Review: So, what does almost everyone REALLY want to do when they get their new camera??? Ignore the manual and start taking pictures, right?! Well, Pentax wisely separated the camera's features into essentially two areas - basic and advanced modes. The...

Not Really Worth It.

Date of Review:  Dec 22, 2004
The Bottom Line: I would not buy this camera. There are better ones out there for the same price.
Review: I personally do not like this camera. My girlfriend has it and the quality of the pictures are good, but the overall design, menus and battery life are not that great.

Let me begin with the design, or better yet; the lack of it. This is an...

This Ones A Keeper

Date of Review:  Mar 24, 2005
The Bottom Line: After all the research, I can say this camera is priced below its quality range and stands up to the more expensive units easily.
Review: After Quite a considerable amount of research on digital cameras. I had narrowed my choices down to the Canon Powershot a85, the Olympus d580, Pentax Optio30, and the Kodak dx7430.

Now first I wanted a camera that used regular alkaline...

If you can find one in stores BUY IT

Date of Review:  May 3, 2005
Review: What a great little camera this is. I have had it for about 6 months now and I am very satisfied with it. The pictures are very impressive and super sharp. I also had a HP 3.3 mp camera and put it to the test against the pentax but there is a clear...

This camera worked good for a month and a half

Date of Review:  Jul 22, 2004
Review: I bought an Pentax Optio 30 a month and a half ago to use for a family reunion. Played around with it ahead of time to get used to it. Halfway through our reunion(3 days) the screen went out of focus.I tried everything. New batteries, memory card,...

I am very happy with this purchase

Date of Review:  May 17, 2004
Review: This is my first digital camera purchase. There are a lot of 3mp, 3x zoom cameras out there and it took me a long time to decide which model I wanted. What set this camera apart for me was the price,choice of autofocus modes (spot and 5 point) and...
