Yep, you read that right. What a great price on a digital camera; even if it’s not the best quality, for that price you could give one to a kid sister, keep it as a glovebox camera, use it as your beach camera beater…you get the idea.

If you are undecided, then check the camera’s features…

Features:

  • 10.1 megapixel CCD provides beautiful, detailed images in an entry-level camera, which may be printed as 8×10 inch enlargements (and larger) in clear resolution with impressive image quality
  • 3X optical zoom wide zoom lens is great for landscape and group photo shots
  • 2.4 inch LCD screen makes both capturing and reviewing photos easy
  • AA batteries make the E60 convenient for travel to any destination, without having to lug around a charger
  • PENTAX Auto Picture mode automatically selects from 7 shooting modes for the best picture in any situation
  • Advanced Face Recognition technology, the camera automatically recognizes and quickly captures up to 10 faces, so every face is bright and focused, even in backlit areas
  • Easy to use Green mode let’s you sets exposure, sensitivity and other parameters with a touch of a button for the newest digital users.
  • Digital Shake Reduction system automatically sets an ISO up to a high 6400 to prevent subject blur. Movie Shake Reduction is also available to steady your video captures
  • Digital Panorama mode automatically stitches a series of pictures into one wide 180-degree image

Julie, do you remember when I kept calling yours a “Pentio”? Good times… ;-)

Get yours today from Woot!, and hurry – they will probably sell out.

I started Gear Diary on September 30, 2006, and my goal was that this not be an easily labeled site. We all have gear that we use daily – some of it electronic and some of it organic. I think it is fascinating to explore the equipment that makes our lives easier, more entertaining, more productive, and more manageable. My hope is that Gear Diary visitors will find this site to be a comfortable and friendly place to discuss interesting topics – and not only those that are tech related, as well as a location to discover various types of gear – whatever that term may end up implying – that they never knew existed. My specialty is in-depth reviews written in a layman’s terms, because everyone can understand technology, sometimes it just takes a little translating. +Judie Stanford
