$150.00
Released October, 2007
The Pros:Uses AA batteries, allowing you to find replacements on the fly if you ever need them. Uses SD cards, which are cheap and plentiful. Price is typically much lower than the original MSRP, can be purchased very cheaply.
The Cons:LCD is hard to see on sunny days, a bit dim. Color accuracy isn't great, prone to a slight green tint. Drains batteries fairly quickly, need to have a spare few on you.

Because it uses 2 AA batteries, and because of its small size and low price, Pentax has billed it as ideal for travelers. Reviewers describe the camera's image quality as average for its class, but mention that focusing speed is on the slow side. The E40 has been followed by the Pentax E50 and Pentax E60.
