Summary: best buy in 4mp digital camera with 640x480 30fps video
Review: The Pentax MX4 is a great all around digital/video camera because of all it's features. I don't know of another digital camera with all the features it has such as 4mp,10x optical (100x digital),640x480 MPEG-4 Movie at 30 fps with sound that plays directly on TV from the camera ,1.8" swiveling LCD,ergonomic rotating grip,PictBridge etc. It take just a few minutes to load the MP4 video on the computer and view it with Quicktime then burn it on CD's or DVD's to share it with family and friends. It has 10 picture modes along with program,shutter-priority,aperture-priority,metered manual,voice recording and eight digital filters. I use a tripod with fluid head when using the zoom lens at 10x for rock steady images or videos. When on vacation you can combine the still images with videos on the same SD memory card. I just ordered the Epson P-2000 multimedia storage and viewing device that has a 40GB HD and 3.8" LCD to download the SD cards so you can shoot all the photo and video you want on vacation without having to worry about running out of storage. And the best thing about the Pentax MX4 is the price that is less than half what I paid for my 3mp Epson 3100Z in 2001.

Summary: AWSOME CAMERA FOR THE PRICE!
Review: I HAVE SEVERAL DIFFERENT CAMERAS INCLUDING THE SANYO-FISHER CAMERACORDER FVD-C1 WHICH COSTS $750 BUT THIS MX4 TAKES VIDEO JUST AS GOOD @ 640X480 WITH 30 FPS AND EVEN BETTER PICS @ 4MP COMPARED TO 3.2 ON THE FISHER! AND I PAID LESS THAN HALF THE PRICE! THIS IS PROBABLY THE BEST VALUE DIGITAL STILL/VIDEO CAMERA ON THE MARKET, THE VIDEO LOOKS ALMOST AS GOOD AS MINI DV AND THE STILLS ARE ALMOST AS GOOD AS MY MINOLTA DIMAGE 7i, ALL I CAN SAY IS YOU CANNOT GO WRONG WITH THIS CAMERA FOR UNDER $300 !
