    Avoid this camera............ I have had it for a few years now and its the worst camera ever. Unless you keep it really still you get blurred photos, I have had more bad photos than good. :(:(

    Are you sure it's the same camera - The E50 one was only released at the beginning of last year. It also has a shake reduction feature so perhaps yours is faulty?

    Never heard of Shanitech though.
    Ah! Good old trusty beer... I hope you never change.

    the shutter speed is TOO slow, half the time you miss important photos, and if you even move the camera a little, you get Blur, and thats with the shake reduction switched on...................... Get a FUJI...

    Maybe you're just not very good at taking photos.

    The price for E50 new was about £85.00. Shanitech is selling refurb pentax products. I have checked with Pentax. I think esmer is getting mix-up with some other camera. E50 was only released last year.

    I've used one and it's not a great camera by any means, good stocking filler buy though for someone who just wants to take the odd quick snap...

    do you think this may be a good present for a 7 year old? 1st camera?
