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

Date of Review:  Jun 6, 2003
The Bottom Line: The feature rich little Pentax Optio S is the smallest 3 megapixel with 3X optical zoom digital camera in the world.
Review: 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.

Date of Review:  Apr 22, 2003
The Bottom Line: Biggest advantage=tiny size! There is nothing as powerful in as small a package. Proves that the best camera is the one you can carry when you need the shot.
Review: 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,...

Perfect Portability, Perfect Value

Date of Review:  Nov 13, 2004
The Bottom Line: Had this camera for over one year; has never let me down and gets the photos I want. Get a few extra batteries and you'll never be happier.
Review: 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,...

OPTIO S: Room For Improvement

Date of Review:  Apr 25, 2003
The Bottom Line: Not recommended if it?s going to be your main camera. It's great for its portability but to me picture quality should always be the designer's highest priority.
Review: 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 truer. I have...

Portability worth the compromises

Date of Review:  Jun 8, 2003
The Bottom Line: The Optio S is a portable digital camera that you can (and will) always take with you
Review: 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...

Is that a camera?

Date of Review:  Jun 3, 2003
The Bottom Line: I highly recommend this camera if you are looking for the smallest one with the most features. It's the perfect camera you can take anywhere without skimping on picture quality.
Review: 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...

Pentax Optio S60 is it worth it?

Date of Review:  Nov 10, 2006
Review: I bought this compact camera last summer via an internet retailer. Outside of the short battery life (even with rechargeable batteries- you will run through 2 of them easily in less than a week); it was functioning pretty well.
I am an amateur...

The Wow Factor

Date of Review:  Jul 2, 2003
The Bottom Line: If you are looking for a super small camera to take everywhere with you, and doesn't compromise on features, then look no further, this camera is unbelievable.
Review: I started out in the digital camera world with the Toshiba PDR 2300. I loved taking digital pictures but unfortunately due to the cameras rather large size I found myself forgetting to take it with me on many occasions. So the time came when I...

Date of Review:  Jun 28, 2008
The Bottom Line: This is a reliable product that performs well and has plenty of advanced features to use.

Smallest camera I could find.

Date of Review:  Mar 31, 2003
The Bottom Line: Bottom line: This is a nice LITTLE camera. People with big hands may have problems. I love it so far.
Review: This has to the smallest camera made while still keeping excellent photo quality. I have had no problems yet, although I only have had it for over a week. It survived a spring break week in Daytona. Battery life seemed to last quite long even with a...
