Obviously not state of the art but a good pocketable camera with easy to use controls and a viewfinder. I had to buy a memory card and special cable to make it fully useable but at a little over £20 all in a fine purchase.

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I bought an Optio 50 on ebay for a price I couldn't resist. "It's a Pentax - it must be good!" I thought. My first photos were taken on a night out with friends and the results were disappointing. Half of the photos were out of focus. I decided to read the instruction book and made a startling discovery: You should wait for the focus marks to go green before pressing the shutter all the way! Needless to say the next batch were in focus. My main interest is landscape photography and I have to say this camera has produced my best ever results in this field! The colours and sharpness are great. The only downside is that at the shortest zoom length there is some slightly noticeable "barrel distortion", but you get that with most compacts in this price range. I am still delighted with the photos I have produced on this very compact camera, though. I do recommend rechargeable batteries of at least 2000mAh to get the best battery life from this camera. You won't be disappointed.Read full review
I bought my Pentax Optio 50 a couple of years ago for about £100. Its very compact and light and takes good photos. You can choose the quality depending on what you want the photos for. I only use a few of the features, and the menu is a bit fiddly to negotiate. You can date imprint your photos, which is good for holiday snaps, but if you crop them prior to printing you can easily cut off the date. It takes and SD card, which you will needed as the internal memory is small. You can't do anything without the lens extending, and I think this is probably why it is heavy on batteries. If I am at home I use NiMH, but even these don't last for more than a few shots, so when I am on holiday I use Duracell, but this is costly and they still don't last that long. If it wasn't for the battery problem I would have rated this camera as excellent.Read full review
