The Pentax Optio S A Very Small Digital Camera With Some Very Large Problems

by Howard_Creech Howard_Creech is a Lead on Epinions in Electronics, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 10, Jun 06 '03
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...

Optio S : That's not a mint in the Altoids tin! A curiously small camera.

by yusakugo Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 10, Apr 22 '03
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,...

OPTIO S: Room For Improvement

by millerre , Apr 25 '03
Pros: Size makes it easy to have with you always.
Cons: Just OK picture quality - nothing to write home about
I’ve had my OPTIO S for 2 weeks and here’s what I find:

Great size – that’s why I bought it!

My main disappointment is picture quality. My wife has the Canon S230 and pictures from it are more vibrant and the color...

Is that a camera?

by erick , Jun 03 '03
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...

Perfect Portability, Perfect Value

by excise , Nov 13 '04
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 ...

Great compromise in size, gadgetry, image quality & cost.

by abookas , Oct 03 '03
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 ...

Portability worth the compromises

by philco , Jun 08 '03
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...

Quality Camera in Tiny Package

by wptitus , Apr 10 '03
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...

Mostly happy

by jazzguy1001 , Sep 17 '03
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 ...

"State of the Art "

by erie_guy , Apr 09 '03
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...

Pentax Optio S - Perfect Camera for the Amateur

by sk99 , May 02 '03
Pros: Size, Style, features
Cons: Battery life
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...

Ideal for those who just want to point and click

by suilobo , Apr 14 '04
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 ...

You can find a better camera for the $, no problem.

by kcpb111 , Jun 27 '06
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 ...
