    Strength:

    Size Ease of use Quality of pictures Good value for the money Manual usage

    Weakness:

    Sometimes (rarely) it's too small. Can only use the lense that comes with the camera. Could use a bigger screen

    The size of the camera lends itself to having on hand. There is no excuse for not taking that suddenly appearing shot. The quality of the pictures keeps you from regretting that you did not use a more sophisticated camera to take the shot. There's a lot of sophistication in this little package. It's easy to use in the automatic mode and it lends itself to using your own expertise to take that complex picture.

    Strength:

    Size, picture quality outdoors and in good lighting condition is superb.

    Weakness:

    As I have read in many reviews and I tend to agree, in low light autofocus does not work very well. This is the only real weakness for me of the camera. However, you get to know the camera after a while and you work around it.

    Excelent camera. I was looking for something small that I can carry around all the time and at the same time good picture quality. Definely this camera meets very well my criteria. I have made awasome portraits of my kids. I did not care about some of the weaknesses I read about specifically you can not attach an external flash or addional lenses and full manual mode.

    Only used the Pentax web site to download a file for Windows XP. No problems at all.
