CNET Editors' Review

The good: Solid construction for the price; very easy to use; aperture-priority mode; spot metering; sharp Pentax lens.

The bad: Oversaturated colors; no custom white balance; somewhat subpar LCD; unimpressive low-light autofocus; short battery life.

The bottom line: A solidly built point-and-shoot, this camera is best for photographers who like pictures with a lot of punch.

"Stop complaining about battery, noobs" By

Pros I've played with MANY digital cameras. If you want a camera that doesnt eat so much battery, get an old one. A simple 2mp, no sound, no optical zoom. That will last your Energizer 100+ pictures. Now a days we have such super digital cameras with super fu
