Pros: Ultra-compact, 3 megapixels, 3X optical zoom, incredible feature set, 11 MB’s of internal memory
Cons: Soft images, poor shot to shot times, short battery life,
Despite more than half a century as a major player in the photo-optics world, Pentax is a relative unknown in the digital imaging arena. The company is probably best known for the K1000, one of the most popular and longest running 35mm camera models...
Pros: Size!, three megapixels, 3X optical zoom, some manual features, WOW factor, more! Cons: Expensive, images not quite as sharp as high end 3MP camera, control joystick.
Technically, I only had the Optio S between 1 to 2 weeks depending on when I finally place this review up (I started it 4/21/03). I recently went through a major selloff of many of my digital cameras keeping for my own personal use a Canon S400, S45,...
Pros: Size, 3x Optical Zoom, 3.2MP... did I say size? Cons: How battery is charged and location of shutter and on/off buttons
I've been looking for a small digital camera for quite a while now. My first (and only other) digital camera was this huge AGFA 640x480 camera that ate up AA batteries even when I wasn't using it. Comparing the Pentax Optio-S to it is like comparing...
Pros: Small Size and Excellent housing build-quality. Awesome photos for a camera this small! Cons: Slightly expensive, lack of a charger cradle.
This was the second digital camera I purchased. My first one was a Fujifilm 6800z Porsche design camera (see my review of it). I like the Fujifilm camera, however it is a slight bit bulky for simply carrying it around casually. This Pentax camera, on ...
Pros: Extremely small & lightweight -
Intuitive user interface & button layout -
Fair picture quality Cons: There are other cameras with better performance in regard to image quality, battery life, etc.
I got my Optio S two-and-a-half months ago and I'm extremely satisfied with it so far. Previous cameras of mine include the Fujifilm Finepix 40i as well as older Fujifilm models (e.g. MX-700). Criteria There are about just as many different digital ...
Pros: Fantastic balance of portability, photo quality, battery life and capacity (with 256 MB SD card) Cons: Shot to shot time; initially awkward controls
I am a snapshot photographer and not a serious enthusiast or professional. My first digital camera was a 2MP Toshiba PDR-M5 that I bought in 1998. I found that I loved the digital format. However, as the technology developed, I found myself wanting...
Pros: Size,features and picture quality Cons: Not the latest model of camera
**** Introduction **** Looking back at some of my reviews you might think that I have a lot of camera's, well I do like my gadgets but I work in the photographic industry so it's usually me that gets saddled with the responsibility of buying camera's ...
Pros: quality in a tiny package, looks, ease of use
Cons: 'on/off' button might be confused with shutter release button, battery compartment hinge seems flimsy
I've owned this tiny camera for less than a week and have bonded quickly. Potential photographs are where you find them, often at unexpected moments. It is great to have a quality 3.2 megapixel camera in a leather over-size business card case (bought...
Pros: Convenient size. Nice macro abilities. Good battery power. Cons: Underpowered flash. Must remove battery to charge it. Occasional auto-focus problems.
Since purchasing the Optio S about 4 months ago, I've taken over 1000 pictures with it. In some instances it's taken some very impressive pictures, in other situations it's fallen short. The camera is good at taking pictures when there is plenty of li ...
Pros: Size & weight are astounding. Has most "big camera" features at affordable prices. Cons: Wrist strap is too large for camera. Soft pouch is tight. NONE YET
After much review of small digital cameras, I made the plunge and purchased the Optio S. The camera store price was not much more than mail order and they assisted in showing the many features this subcompact camera contains. I guess I was intrigued by...
The Pentax Optio S is probably one of the smallest and lightest cameras out on the market, but it's not short of features. I wont list them all here but in short it's got 3.2 megapixels, 3x optical zoom, 1.6inch LCD screen, voice recorder and a movie...
Pros: Size, ease-of-use, competitive feature list, long battery life Cons: Small buttons, takes long to auto-focus.
I picked up the Pentax Optio S on sale after Christmas to replace my trusty Canon Digital Elph S100. While the Canon had its reign as the smallest digital camera (not counting those cheap cameras with the resolution of a webcam) the Pentax is ...
Pros: easy, quick on/off, compact, battery or rechargeable pack, tripod mount Cons: too many to list, read the review.
Well, basically I got this camera FREE from a friend who bought a new one. So, rest assured this review is COMPLETELY objective as I have no regrets or anger about money poorly spent. I was just happy to get it and didn't ask why he replaced it with a ...
