Before you overpay
Check that the lens extends and retracts smoothly, flash fires, screen is readable, buttons respond, and the battery door closes firmly. Confirm 4 AA batteries, the charger or AA plan, and CompactFlash before comparing prices.

Owner note
Why people still want it
Pentax EI-100 is a Pentax compact worth checking when the price, CompactFlash, battery setup, and condition all make sense. The main appeal is an easy real-camera workflow with 1.3 MP CCD and 42 mm equivalent fixed F2.8 lens.
Best use
Best for casual snapshots, daylight walks, simple flash photos, and anyone who wants a real-camera feel without a complicated setup.
What to compare
Compare it with nearby Pentax Optio models plus Canon ELPH / IXUS, Nikon COOLPIX, and Sony Cyber-shot pocket cameras. A complete working kit usually beats a better-looking model name.
