 Fantastic little camera! Perfect for both beginners and pros! |
| Review Date: September 28, 2008 |
| Reviewer: Obin C. Robinson, Virginia Beach, VA. USA |
| We have owned (and still own) two other Pentax compact cameras: an Optio 60 and an Optio M20. We have fallen in love with the simplicity of the menus, the quality of the photos, and the incredible battery life of the E60. This camera is so intelligent and quick that it is simply amazing. Even low light pictures, macros, and photos of fast objects come out looking spectacular. This camera offers performance which you would have paid $300+ for only a year or two ago. The small size means it fits in shirt pockets or pants pockets easily. We don't even keep track of battery life because basic rechargeable AA batteries last a very long time in this camera. We are so thrilled with the Optio E60 and we can see this coming along on every vacation, to every party, and to every special event where a bulky camera is not needed. |
Great Point N shoot. Easy Menus. Great for novice. I love it.

I'm a simple girl. I don't read instructions. Don't know jack about cameras. I bought this Pentax Optio E60, slapped in two rechargable AA batteries, put on the strap, carried some spare alkalines and took on vacation.
Camera took great shots of my airplane...even zoom. I just pointed and shot. Got great photos between palm trees. I let auto focus do the trick.
After 50 pictures and four days I have two out of three bars left on the rechargeable batteries. I turned the camera on only for brief periods ten times.
For close up shots for this review (see pics if I can upload) I did play with the easy menu and tried flower/macro mode. I make jewelry so I wanted clear close up focus ability too.
This small camera does exactly what I want.
Transfer: I tried the camera Pc interface, nothing happened so I popped out the sdhc transcend card (which I bought for under ten bucks with reader) slid it into the card reader and easily had my pictures. The camera sorted the pictures into file folders by date.
You have date options on the camera. It does have facial function if people are in the photos. Has a few more features.
This is the LOW end of the camera line. The zoom retracts so this is a very small camera. Yet the buttons are placed so they are easy to see and use. The camera layout is great use of space. LCD screen is huge.
Buttons easy to get to and to individually select and use.
Camera feels solid.
NOTE: I would NOT EVEN think of putting it into a purse without a cover. The camera lens has a cover but not the huge lcd.
It does take sd HC cards. It uses AA batteries or rechargeables. NOTE: A few have noted high battery consumption. Maybe it uses batteries up if you watch each picture, and play with menus a lot.
Conclusion: I have had it one week and I'm very happy for a novice....that just wants zoom, close up and point and shoot.
I bought this because:
It does NOT have a proprietary lithium battery like the Sony Cybershot It does NOT use proprietary Sony memory Pro sticks.
I want just want to point and shoot and not spend much money (I'm cheap).
I wanted to use AA rechargeable batteries and SD HC card and easily transfer pictures without special software /hardware.
This is a more expensive higher capacity version of the transcend sd hc card and reader I bought.

| This camera takes great photos even in less-than-optimal conditions and it's very simple to use. Easy menus allow you to make manual adjustments or the automaic setting will take care of everything for you. We love it! |
Great picture quality!

FIRST I WILL TALK ABOUT MY FIRST PURCHASE-THE OLYMPUS FE-25 10MP CAMERA:
I purchased this camera off e-bay factory-refurbished. I love the look of this Olympus camera-very sleek and sophisticated. But it was all show and not go. I was told by the company that this camera recorded sound in movie mode. I didn't see any speakers on this camera. Just know this beforehand. This one issue was not a deal breaker for me because I mainly bought the camera for taking pics. The main issue for me was looking at the LCD screen. The images looked slightly grainy/fuzzy for a 10mp camera. Also, I took this camera into the store and compared it to other 10mp cameras (Canon, Nikon, Kodak, Fujifilm, and other Olympus fes) and noticed a yellow/dull tint in the LCD screen in comparison. Imagine looking at the world with slightly colored amber glasses. That's what this LCD screen was like! But I am not electronics savvy, so I waited until I could print the shots to see the print quality. The pictures printed slighty fuzzy-not the quality I would expect from a 10mp camera. I contacted the warranty department and they questioned whether I had it at a high enough ISO or whether I had set it to the right mode. But high ISO settings didn't change this. The customer service was sluggish to switch the camera but offered to look at it and repair it if need be. But I decided on another camera. I thought that problems with this camera was because it was a refurb, until I read other reviews that a blurriness was a problem with this camera. A few people have reviewed the Fe-25 as taking good pictures. I don't know which is true, I just know what happened with my camera, but I will stress that it was a REFURB.
NOW FOR THE PENTAX OPTIO E60:
I ended up looking at the Pentax Optio E60. It is 10mp with a clear sharp LCD screen and when I uploaded pics onto my PC they were so clear compared to the Olympuse FE-25. My final choice was between this one and the Nikon L18. I even liked the look, feel, and performance of the Pentax. One plus about the Nikon was that the LCD screen (3 inch) is really large compared to the Pentax (2.4 inch) and I liked that feature, but I can see just fine with the Pentax and I can be confident that I will get a quality picture! The Olympus Fe-25 camera ate my batteries up after the first 50 pictures! The Pentax will last through about 150-200 pictures; and 3X that with two AA lithium batteries. Don't be fooled by the marketing or big names; because they may represent both great and also mediocre performers. I was not as familiar with the Pentax products or their history when I bought this camera; but if you are looking for quality pictures and features that are easy to use this is definately the way to go! |
great, easy to use, inexpensive camera

I bought this Pentax camera on a whim just before a recent trip to Vegas. I got great shots of all the main Vegas area landmarks, day and night. I found the camera small, lightweight, comfortable, and so easy to use, I was able to figure out everything I needed w/o reading any directions. Did the basic menu set-up, installed batteries and SD card, turned it on, and began taking pictures. I found it much easier to use than my last two Kodak digital cameras, which were both much more expensive, even considering how far costs for electronics have come down. Don't know if this is the standard package, but my camera came with software, batteries, strap, small case, USB and AV cables.
I debated deducting a point but decided not to because although it used the first set of batteries really fast, this last pair has lasted a little while (lithium). So, I would say buy rechargeables and keep spares. I would rate it as a small inconvenience at this level of value. |
Awesome DC!!

| I have a Nikon D40, two Panasonic Lumix DCs, an HP DC, but the Pentax E60 DC performs the best overall. Ideal night scene mode for low light shootings, extra ISO helps a lot. I'll buy a Pentax DSLR next time. |
Very Easy to Use

| As a very amateur photographer I love this camera. Very Easy to Use, inside the house well lighted area pictures are very sharp. What amazed me was that landscape photos with the Panorama mode on turned out far nicer than I expected. And night photos with the flash were surprisingly good too. It's very small and easy to carry about, though I got a nice leather, cloth lined case for it -- the nylon one provided seemed a bit flimsy and I was worried about it scratching the LCD. The camera package I was sent had very obviously been already opened and repackaged which was disappointing -- but everything was there in tip top shape and working great. |
Satisfied with my PINK Pentax!

I wasn't aware the memory card wasn't included, it allowed two photos without the card. The pictures came out great, the colors matched exactly.
The software installation went well for me. Did you disable your virus protection and close all your programs prior to installation..????
Their (Pentax) customer service is awesome!!!!! |
staff coming with the product
