Good: Rather 'liked'....Everything except the inner screen!

Bad: The fact that two months in...ITS BROKEN!!

Comment: I bought this camera 2 months ago...I liked the cutesyness of it...the 'cartoon icons'...the big screen and it was easy to use...I just like taking pictures...I am not a camera expert...2 months down the line the screen went...looked like something had burned out inside...outside of camera perfect...I DIDN'T KNOCK OR BANG IT!....Took it back to the store who sent it back to Pentax...Been informed today it will cost £92 pounds to repair..plus £6.90 for its return...repaired or not!..I was also told that even though the outside of the camera remains in perfect condition..its so delicate that the inner screen can be damaged beyone compare..AGAIN RUBBISH!!...Research on the web has shown that others have had this trouble..one person even got it repaired...only to have the same thing happen again!...I WILL NEVER BUY A PENTAX CAMERA AGAIN!...My last camera lasted 7 years...needless to say...it was not a Pentax!
