this camera is for sale for $170. is it worth it? i have no set buget for a camera, under $300 i guess if i have to name a limit. i just want to take pictures and print off medium size pictures, nothing greater than 8 X 10. yes i no nothing about cameras
 
If I looked correctly, this camera has 7.1 mega-pixels. It will print bigger sizes then 8x10 but if it is that price, it is well worth it.

There is only 2 things I would add on which is a bigger memory card because when you first buy a digital camera, they usually come with a 16mb memory card. I would get at least a 128mb like this you can take more pictures.

Another thing is to get rechargeable batteries because sometimes digital cameras kill normal batteries very fast.

Hope this helps
 
Specs look ok...but I doubt the pictures would be wonderful. Pentax has never been a very high-end camera. I'd say find some sample photos and compare with some similarly priced cameras.
 
They used to be great, i have an old '75 Asahi Spotmatic with an 800mm telephoto that rules the 35mm roost, but i dont know about their digitals.
 
it was on qvc and its kinda hard to tell the picture quality because it was on TV. they say its good especaily at such a low price!
 
I found the camera elsewhere for $160, so it's not like $170's an amazing deal for the camera. However, I can't find a single review or set of sample photos. I wouldn't get it without being able to test it, or finding some unbiased pictures from it.
