Took some getting used to

I've owned this camera about 3 months. The touch screen is great and very intuitive. The screen is large and good for playback with the slideshow option. The compact size of the camera with the large LCD is the main reason I bought this camera. I suggest a screen overlay if you are having fingerprint problems with the LCD, they sell a 10 pack at Best Buy for $15. Picture quality at first was so-so. I was basically using the settings the camera came with. I was finding that several of my pictures were coming out blurry. What has seemed to remedy this issue is changing the picture mode from "Program" to "Portrait". Only the outdoor shots were coming out ok in Program, but once I switched to Portrait, most pictures came out much better. I don't really want to change modes everytime I take a picture so Portrait seems to be a good general setting to keep it on. This is my 3rd pentax and never had that problem before. Another thing is that the LCD is very hard to see out in bright sunlight, but that doesn't really bother me too much as I still managed to get some great pictures. The camera is very fragile, it scratches and dents easily. It would be nice if they sold some kind of rubber protective case like they have for ipods - I've seen these for other camera's but not this one. I really do like this camera, but I think it needs a little fine tuning before it's a great camera. Bottom line: I'm content with it. The price makes this one a pretty good deal. The form of this camera is great and I would give that a 9/10, and is mainly why I bought it. The function is less desireable at around a 6/10, due to the picture quality and durability.
