 Really nice pocket camera November 30, 2008
Kathy W (Baltimore)
This is a really nice little camera. It is pretty inexpensive, fits in your pocket/purse, is lightweight, and takes 2 AA batteries. It is really simple to use. With 8.1 megapixels, it takes nice photos. It comes with a small zip case to protect it while it is in your pocket. It will also take a 2G SD card (which I understand some cameras will not).
can't beat it!! April 9, 2008

This camera is great, I have always used pentax so when I wanted to upgrade from my 2MP to 8MP, I started looking for the best over all deal. This camera has the "green" feature and makes it nice not to have to select 4 things before you shoot, and the results are awesome! The SD card has come down in price significantly so you can afford to have 2gig or 4 gig of space which is very nice when you have the large file sizes for the best Pics.
The large screen is also excellent. Their are only two draw backs for this camera, like ALL cameras battery consumption will hurt you so invest in Re-chargables. The other is no view finder, not a big deal to me but if the Sun is behind you, you may have a hard time seeing what's on the screen. Overall, you can't beat the quality at this price.
pentax optio e40 April 5, 2008
Antoinette Witscher (florida)
Bought this camera (my first digital)about 4 weeks ago. A true learning experience since I didn't know the first thing about digital cameras and they are totally different from older type cameras. At first I was very confused but was able to figure it out by following manual and simple instruction book that was included. Manual is NOT included and must be downloaded. Yipes, 169 pages so it would cost a bundle to print it out. Bad feature. I just copied basic stuff. Only bad feature on the camera is that there is not a viewfinder. First time I used it was in bright sunshine and so could not make out a thing on the lcd screen. Took chances on a lot of pictures. Shade pictures were o.k. I will buy the tack on shade asap. After I learned to edit, hit certain buttons, etc. this camera is a wonderful bargain. Some of the close up shots I took at Kanapaha gardens in Gainesville were professional photography class (o.k. my opinion). There seems to be limitless things you can do to make your picture perfect. Although I still have alot to learn, I am really enjoying it and again, think I've found a terrific bargain.
 Good camera for the price March 26, 2008

Works well, is a bit complicated to operate however...and I really miss an optical viewfinder; the LCD screen is difficult to use in bright/sun light.

I have owned Pentax cameras for years; all my pentax takes very good pictures. When digital cameras was introduced I considered pentax first. Pentax Optio E40 is a very good camera; takes excellent pictures at close range; the image is clear; the video quality is excellent at close range; the audio quality is super; you can record audio at any time instantly; you can even record music or TV show directly from TV monitor without cable or plug-ins; the audio volume is loud enough without the use of speakers. the pictures comes out very clear. This camera has unbelievable amount of features; the features are easy to access; the buttons are very easy to operate; No unnecessary menu reading; its instant buttons for quick operations. I couldn't explore all of the features due to time constraint.
The bottom line is: For beginners or for those that dosn't need special applications, this camera is one of the best in the market; for the price, it is a steal compared to other cameras of the same category. Finally, the draw back(negetive)for this camera is inability to take clear pictures in AUTO MODE at long range; if the distance is more than 40ft, at AUTO MODE, the pictures and videos are not good; you have to use the special buttons and settings to get better picture. I think that every good camera, at AUTO MODE, should be able to zoom in and take exellent pictures without special menus. Dont forget to purchase SD card to be able to take enough pictures and videos; also, a rechargable battery pack is a plus; get one if you want to save money on batteries.
