Pentax Optio M20

 

Simple design and style ; Ease of use

Sharpness of photos ; Colours

As far as I am aware the Pentax Optio M20 is the cheapest seven megapixel digital camera made by a leading brand. It is easy to use and very straightforward. I also like the simple design and style that make it small enough to slip into a pocket.

Pentax Optio M20

 

Great battery life, easy to use, light to carry, sturdily made, good photos, nice big screen.

No viewfinder so sometimes in bright light you can't see properly what you are about to take on the screen.
