Pentax Optio A40 Black
Strengths: Not yet tested
Weakness: Could not find any so far
I have just received it, bought from tv shopping for only £145 with most accessories. Took a picture of 2 school children in bright sunlight and wondered if anything would come out. It is brilliant. Previously had a fuji 5mp, was very bad at night. Pentax is very good at night and will take pictures soon.
