mysteryonion's Full Review: Pentax Optio S5i Digital Camera
It caught my eye advertised in a Altoids tin, so I bought it.
Over six months of use and its still going strong. Pictures are sharp and clear and easy to load. Camera is handy and travels well in its tin. Caution to anyone using the tin, My Altoids tin was modified to accomodate the buttons in back to allow it to fully close and so it travel very well.

The formats are very good and the compression is not to bad to work with. On a 512 SD I do get 160 shots at full settings. The delay is not too bad and if you learn to touch and wait for the right moment, it is quick enough. Still slower than a film camera. If you have big hands, you may find it too small and your knuckle crosses the front sensor.

Recommended:
Yes

Amount Paid (US$): 299
This Camera is a Good Choice if You Want Something... Easy Enough for Anyone to Use
