A Wee Camera: Pentax Optio S
The Optio S is a truly wee camera, weighing a mere 4.1 oz (115 g) and fitting entirely within an Altoids tin. However, don't be fooled by its diminutive size: Unlike a wimpy camera phone, this is a real camera, with real capabilities, including a 3-megapixel sensor, 3x zoom lens, manual focus, and other features you… -
Re: A Wee Camera: Pentax Optio S
S5i I guess I'm a little late in responding... The S5i was just reviewed over at DPReview, and it looks mostly favorable. The Achilles' Heel of the S was the relatively slow shot-to-shot time--an issue that appears to have gone unaddressed even in the latest iteration of this model.

Re: A Wee Camera: Pentax Optio S
Hi All, My name is Mike, and I am addicted to little cameras:D I have been thinking about getting the S5i. Do you think it is not a wise purchase as commented above, to many MP in the small package? I plan to use it for outdoor shooting.. The size, weight, and IR control are big plus factors for me, I use my cams on r/c… -

Miller's Rock? The landscape shot was taken from (I believe) Blue Mountain, looking approximately north, perhaps a little northeast. I also had my Digital Rebel along with me on that hike, but for the brief stops, I used the Pentax. Outdoors is where it really shines, as it likes to have a lot of light--and it produces…
