5 Star ReviewI would suggest it is an ideal digital camera for ...
Strengths: The quality of the picture man! unbelieveable! I compared its pictures with another 5.1 MP digital camera, and it is far far better.
Weaknesses: nothing I can think of, except the 16MB memory in the box is too small,. I would recommand 256MB memory which will alway leave you with plenty of spare room.
Summary: I would suggest it is an ideal digital camera for first time digital camera owners, at the same time it is a very very good value for money. picture quality is unbelieveable I may recommand to any one really.

Strengths: Excellent picture quality. Packed with many functions which are very easy to use. Even takes video in MPEG format depending on the size of memory card used. A great point and click camera.
Weaknesses: The one thing that lets this camera down is the size of the viewing screen. It is minute and impossible to see in bright sunlight. I ended up pointing it and hoping for the best.
Summary: I have owned this camera for about 4 months now, I have taken some great pictures with it. With a larger viewing screen, it would be difficult to beat for the price.

5 Star ReviewI bought canon A70 first and used it for about 3 w ...
Strengths: Picture quality, small size, screen won't damage in the pocket, CF storage, 2 AA batteries, cheap, light, beautiful choice for my needs (non professional, casual pictures taking)
Weaknesses: no sound in movies, but not a big deal
Summary: 2003-12-09 13:05:25 I bought canon A70 first and used it for about 3 weeks. It was expensive I paid $318 at walmart, heavy (using 4 batteries), so I brought it back and bought optio 33L from Ebay about twice as cheap. I printed some of 4X6 pictures and quality is very good, much better than than my old film camera pictures. I am not comparing quality of canon a70 and pentax optio 33L, just telling that optio 33L completely satisfied my needs for digital camera

5 Star Reviewfantastic camera - we took it for our honeymoon to ...
Strengths: Picture quality, features (3D, Panorama, color & B&W filters plus manual settings for camera pros)
Weaknesses: power consumption - if using regular AA batteries rather than lithium ion, the cells run out of juice fast
Summary: fantastic camera - we took it for our honeymoon to Europe as well as the 35 mm camera. In two weeks, I did not take out the 35 mm camera even once! some 600 pictures later (on 256 MB CF) I love it even more - a GREAT BUY

5 Star ReviewPentax Optio 33L
Strengths: Quality,versatility, general feel, macro quality,
Weaknesses: No view-finder (only sometimes)
Summary: Since I baught it in 2003, I'm pushing 10,000+ pictures and I love every one I took. I have two L-Ion recharge batteries along with three 1GB CF cards. I love the campatiability of the cards with my desktop & Notebook computers. I use PaintShop Pro 9 to process all the picts and with fantastic results. The camera is set at higest resolution and lowest compression - always. It has more than met my expectations under all photo - conditions.

My next purchase would be as close to the Optio 33L as I can find but with a 7MP+ and a 8-12X zoom.
