Small, easy to use, good battery life, many features.
Bad Points
Once the battery gets to the halfway point there isn't much left.
General Comments
I love my Pentax Optio 550. I researched digital camaras for 2 weeks before buying. After seeing mine, my neighbor bought one too. It has many features for any photographer. It's so easy to use that my 7 year old son uses it without a problem. The battery lasts a long time before it gets to the halfway point. Its compact size makes it easy to take anywhere. I couldn't find a 5 megapixel camara that also had a 5x optical zoom. I have had my camara for 2 years and have never had a problem with it. I like it so much in fact, that if anything ever did happen to it, I would probably buy another one. An excellent camera for the money. I highly recommend this camera.
