New Pentax Optio E60 10MP Digital Camera, for $79.99 + $5 shipping
Product: 1x Pentax Optio E60 10MP Digital Camera with 3X Wide-Angle Optical Zoom and Advanced Face Recognition
This is a great camera. One of my favorites. Battery life is good. Takes good pictures. The face recognition works decently. Sometimes takes an extra second or so to identify the face and take the picture.
I’ve been waiting for these to come back ever since mine arrived cracked and woot “ran out” of replacements, but oddly had enough for the wootoff… Anyway, we finally have our pink Pentax back! …assuming THIS one doesn’t show up cracked too. :=)
Megapixels are getting ridiculously high these days. Lens size (and of course this one is tiny) has much more bearing on how “good” the photo will look. Although with 10mp, you could probably enlarge a photo to cover your whole house and it would not look distorted at least… otherwise there’s no reason you need that much MEGA.
I bought the Pentax Optio A40 12 MP from woot in Jan, for like $100 or something? Like it.
The A40 has good anti shakey stuff, and my only peeve, is that it dosen’t have a widescreen shooting mode. Other than that, it’s not a miracle worker, but it gets the job done.
The model woot is selling today is the E60, so your milage may vary.
I have this exact same camera except branded under a different name, so I’m wondering if mine the real deal or the cloned one or if it just has a different name… either way, it takes photos exceptionally well for a just under $100 camera. I mean, it’s no Canon Powershot, Kodak, etc. by far in being top of the line, but if you need a nice daily use pocket sized camera that you don’t have to swap a bunch of lenses on (those super professional ones for catch each frame of a butterfly slipping off a leaf, or a raindrop dancing in the wind
