Pentax Optio E-60

So far I am pretty impressed with the Pentax. There is a bit of a lag, but not too bad, een the with the flash the recycle is pretty quick. I've been shooting on the same batteries for the last week and this camera hasn't drained them as did the Canon. The Sureshot would eat the batteries in a matter of minutes when I was taking shots of the grandson and the recycle time got to be in the seconds as the batteries wore down - not good when shooting a busy little boy!

nice pic,
great camera

wicked yellow color cast, tho ;)

i have a minolta dimage 7i that takes great pics (w/o compression) but eats 4-AA batteries in about 15 minutes -- have an AC adapter for it, but that kind of limits portability...

I think the camera manufacturers are in cahoots with the battery industry.

Hi Phos, just got back from the far north.. and yes, we had both ice on the lakes and snow on our heads... but also lots of warm sunshine.

Re cameras: wanna hear my opinion? One can never have too many!
Loved the pic of the cactus in bloom!

Your memorial-day post was great too. Yeah, good one: Welcome home!!!
Jewel: sweet and heartwarming comment - you're clearly a very considered and sweet person. But nothing ever gets better or disappearas by feeling sorry for it and regretting the way that things are. Anything can only be handled by looking at it, seeing it as it is and doing something about it!
There is a whole lot of "doing-ness" required if one wants to change things for the better and the worst thing one can do is to to look away because it's too terrible to face the reality!

True enough, the realities of armed conflicts are definitely not pleasant, but the thing that really gets to me and what I have been fighting all my life is covert warfare! And those dirty games will keep going on and on as long as the vast mayority of us finds it too painfull to face them.

I was able to reduce lag by decreasing resolution from each pic being 2 megs down to about 500kb 1124/960
