4 out of 5 stars Decent Camera   November 30, 2008
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

Nice camera for the price. I like the auto smile feature. Lightweight and easy to use. Able to recover photos after they have been deleted. Would recommend this camera. I bought 2 of them. A pink one for my daughter and a blue one for my son. They both enjoy using these cameras.


5 out of 5 stars Great little camera!   November 23, 2008

I have really enjoyed using this camera in the last few weeks. It takes great pictures, but what I like, perhaps most, about it is the speed of picture taking. It takes it's first picture nice and fast so you can actually get a picture of what you wanted! And it also takes consecutive pictures fast as well. I would highly recommend this camera for someone who wants to take good, easy pictures while having a bunch of great features too!

It's small and very light so you can take it anywhere. Icons that are fun and easy to use. Takes great pictures. I love the soft flash mode, the warm skin tone mode and the rechargeable battery. The only thing is that I got it in pink, great color, but my little granddaughter thinks it's her toy!


4 out of 5 stars A Nice Little Camera for Family and Vacation Photos   September 14, 2008
 49 out of 49 found this review helpful

I bought the Pentax Optio M50 as a gift. I chose this model for the following reasons:

* It is small and compact enough to always have with you
* It is very stylish (especially for a young girl). We got it in Pink to go with her pink iPod.
* I wanted a camera with a minimum of 8MP which is plenty for home use (I have advanced digital SLRs with 8MP and they take pro-quality images)
* The zoom ratio (5x) was much better than those found on other cameras in it's class (usually 3x)
* I like the feature that automatically detects and exposes for faces (although the "Auto-Smile" feature seems to be a hit-or-miss feature so I don't suggest using it)
* It is a good value for the price

A couple of things to be aware of though:

* There is no optical viewer, you must use the rear screen to compose the image
* The "shake reduction" feature is not true electronic image stabilization, which you can find or higher-end cameras. Instead it raises the sensitivity of the light sensing chip in low light which allows the use of a higher shutter speed at the same time giving you less detail in the resulting photo. Nice feature, but not as nice as IS which reduces or compensates for actual camera shake electronically.

Over all this is a great buy. Just a few years ago a camera like this would have cost at least twice as much. Considering it's features this is a very good value and Pentax is a name that you can trust.

Update 11/22: This camera is now selling here for about $40 less than I paid both for the ones that I bought (the first one went over so well that I bought another for my mother) making this an even better value!
