Pentax EI-2000 is a Pentax compact worth checking when the price, Compact Flash, battery setup, and condition all make sense. The main appeal is an easy real-camera workflow with 2/3-inch (8.8 x 6.6 mm) CCD and 34-108 mm equivalent, F2.5-11.
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 Pentax model-specific rechargeable battery, the charger or AA plan, and Compact Flash before comparing prices.
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.
