Mit seiner Menüstruktur und Handhabung hat Pentax seine Kompaktkamera gerade für Einsteiger, sehr benutzerfreundlich gestaltet. Mehr als ausreichend gibt sich hier der riesige Brennweitenbereich, jedoch muss die Kamera was die Bildqualität angeht, an einigen Stellen Schwächen offenbaren. Zumindest stimmt hier der faire Preis.

Auch wenn die Pentax nicht über zahlreiche Funktionen verfügt wie die Konkurrenz, muss man aber zu ihrer Verteidigung anführen, das sie sehr günstig ist und dafür macht sie ihren Job insgesamt mehr als gut. Die flache Bauweise sowie ihr geringes Gewicht machen sie zudem sehr reiselustig.
