5 out of 5 stars Excellent little workhorse   July 3, 2008

I purchased this camera to replace 5mp camera. The huge screen makes lining up those shoots a breeze, pictures have all turned out very nice (though red-eye seems a little bit more common than I am used too), and I absolutely LOVE the video recording. Sure the video is not put on your TV quality, but for those times when you don't carry a full camcorder around and just happen to have this in the car or wife's purse, the video is perfect. Since I live away from home, I am able to upload these smaller videos for family back home and allow them to see allot of our lives that they would miss.
A great camera, especially for the very low price.



3 out of 5 stars Misleading about an accessory   April 5, 2008

I like to use an ac power cord when doing work where the camera is connected to the computer, to save on battery life. This is also suggested in the instruction manual. But though the specs say this camera comes with an ac cord, that cord doesn't connect to the camera; it's part of the battery charger. To buy the right ac cord, you must go to another vendor, and put out another $35-40. Also, I haven't found any photo stitch ability the ability to align several landscape photos and then stitch them together) with this camera. I do like the small size.

Thank you for the speedy service. I am enjoying my new camera.
I checked different locations for prices. Your company was by far the
best place to do business. Again thank you and I hope we can do business
in the future.



5 out of 5 stars Pentax Optio M40; a great performer   January 2, 2008

Great "carryability". It can be carried in a small pocket and has the versatility of a larger camera...you're not an "Instant Tourist". It can be used for good effect under most conditions and easily downloads using
the provided software. Nicely finished.
