Pros: Cool touch screen is a nice size.

Cons: Slowest I've ever used and somewhat expensive.

Summary: I bought this camera for my wife for her work. I have (had) a Panasonic Lumix for my work. This Pentax is so extremely slow to focus and snap the picture, if the subject is in motion, it is out of view by the time the picture is taken. My wife refused to use it any longer, so I traded with her. I am fairly dissapointed in this camera, but I take pictures of still objects and have the patience to wait for the camera. I bought it because of the size of the screen and the touch screen has all the menus built in, so there are very little knobs and switches. It also comes with a stylus and has several built in graphics that you can add to and draw directly on the screen on your pictures. Very cool features, but expensive and sluggish response when snapping picture. I will stick with Panasonic or Olympis in the future.
