Ease of Use. Clarity of Picture. No 'expert' knowledge needed. Good pictures every time.- even with camera movement.
Don't be fooled by 'low' pixels - results compare well to any high pixel 'expensive'non-professional camera in my opinion.
Bought one for close-up macro work. So good, sought out another. Glad I did - as hard to get hold of.
There really is no gamble with this one.

★★★★★

written by joeburton on 07/10/2005

The Pentax Optio 30 digital camera is great for beginners, as all you need to do is point and click. All the menus are simple and easy to navigate. It takes AA batteries, so you do not have to worry about recharging it when your out and about.

An easy camera to use, and the picture quality is very good. I've just upgraded from a Konica KD100, and I am very pleased with the Pentax. I bought it from www.ebuyer.com, for around £128, including VAT and delivery within four days.
