2.0 out of 5 stars Good camera for beginners but....., June 25, 2006
By

This review is from: Pentax Optio 50L 5 Megapixel Digital Camera Kit (Electronics)
Pentax Optio 50L proves to be a very sturdy, reliable and what appears to be well constructed camera. The main selling point of this camera is the ease of use. And this is a very easy camera to use, anyone can probably master this camera within minutes after reading the Pentax's paltry instruction booklet. They even have a dial marker that would almost make this camera into one of them ancient Kodak Instamatic!! (Anyone remembered those??)

Since Amazon have provided the specifications, I would go on to the camera's performances.

Sad to say, this is a pretty average camera. Everything about it is, average in terms of image quality, autofocus speed, and other stuffs that layman photographers usually looks for. The 2.5 inch LCD is nice but pretty average in performance, big enough to look but fades in the sunlight. At 200 ISO, there were some noises which I thought shouldn't be there. The features are pretty average, nothing truly exceptional about this camera outside of the ease of use.

There are some downsides to this camera as well. The ISO rating goes only up to 200 ISO. That kind of limit the camera a bit for indoor shots. To make the matter worst, the built-in flash for this camera is pretty pathetic. The flash proves to be weak and rather short ranged. Almost useless unless you are firing away at point blank range. I was also disappointed that this camera could not accept CRV3 battery like the Optio 30 can.

This would be a hard camera to recommend to any body out there reading this. I think there's a better camera around this price range somewhere out there. I recommended you keep looking.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good camera for $105, January 20, 2009
This review is from: Pentax Optio 50L 5 Megapixel Digital Camera Kit (Electronics)
Have used this camera for almost 2 years and have to say it does have some faults. Low light pictures without the flash take long to focus and look like orange film was used. Many times it won't focus taking regular pictures. And will blur a whole range if you don't use manual focus or change focus setting. Otherwise it works like an average camera. Although My Sony Mavica takes pictures as well as this one in 640 resolution and it's 7/8 years oid. Plus I paid $600 for it.
