I've used the Optio 60 very little (I only borrowed it for a few shots).
I't's not the best camera for low-light shooting, since even its slowest
speed in night mode doesn't truly allow night shots, and even AF cannot cope
with low light levels (not that other P&S are so much better than the 60 on
this respect).
I remember no big issues in using it. Since I own the Optio 555, I've never
seriously thought of buying the 60, but if I had to buy an inexpensive
camera, that would probably be my choice, given the optical viewfindfer and
the.M mode.

I know the Optio60 ain't got SMC. My guess
is that it is sluggish and slow. JPG only, etc.
But it's small, has an optical viewfinder, and
might be good enough to produce nice CRT-only
shots. Cheap, too. Comments?
