Pentax Optio 60

 

Viewing screen is a very good size for the outlay. Zoom is excellent. At max Pixels pics are good enough to use in professional graphic design.

Battery life is not very long and I would recomend buying rechargeables

Pentax Optio 60

 

Point and shoot if that's all you want to do but is also very versatile. Used with a tripod even mini tripod it will take excellent time exposure shots-without flash, automatically which is excellent for buffs and beginners alike.

These cameras aren't really designed to take 'snapshots'and you can get some fuzzy shots when it is dark where a normal 35mm will take an instant shot as soon as the button is pressed.
