My Review 

I love my Pentax camera very much, as it has the same bells and whistles of the top-notch brands. I feel that the Pentax products do not get the recognition that they deserve. It takes some superb shots. Pretty high resolution at 14.0MP. I would recommend this camera to anyone.

Camera "pros" 

Great picture quality, easy to understand manual, happy that it came with its own charger

Camera "cons" 

Camera itself is too heavy, I only wish that the e-dial was more simple showing the flower sign for close-ups and mountain sign for landscaping, etc., like my Pentax K10D use to have

Is this camera easy to use?
