"I have no problem with "inaccurate colors"."
Pros: I like everything about the camera, especially the price.
Cons: No live preview.
Summary: I have had my camera 3 days and have taken a lot of pictures indoors with and without the flash, and outdoors. I am very pleased with the accuracy of the colors. They are rich and well saturated. I would have not purchased the camera after reading CNet's review (which I consider a good guideline the majority of the time). Fortunately I am a Pentax fan, having bought my first one in 1970, and bought it on past reputation. The flash works very good, even close up with no wash-outs. I would have preferred a live preview mode, but I have been looking through the viewfinder for 40 years, so I guess I can continue. Bought it from Amazon.com for $655, and after the $100 rebate it became a very good camera for the money. Also, I can use my older Pentax lens on it, which is a HUGE bonus because I have several. Thanks Pentax for your backwards compatibility.
