Pentax Optio S60

Pros: Compact, well designed, easy to use.

Cons: Red eye flash not working, images are not as good as I expected.

Review: I selected this for my wife. I needed something easy to use and compact as possible with as high an optical zoom as possible and of course take great pictures. It was one of the few pocket digitals that can run on AA batteries, since I have a fleet...

Pros: Take Anywhere Size with full features

Cons: Small buttons take some getting used to, no case included

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...

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

The Bottom Line: The set of keys in my right pocket is probably heavier that the quality 3.2 megapixel camera in my left pocket - that's why I bought it!

Review: 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...

Pros: easy, quick on/off, compact, battery or rechargeable pack, tripod mount

Cons: too many to list, read the review.

The Bottom Line: Find something else, megapixels don't dictate quality, the CCD does. Terrible battery life.

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...

Pros: Easy to use, good picture taker in a package too convenient to leave behind.

Cons: Lightweight,compact battery provides good but not great number of pictures.

Review: Despite the diminutive size and light weight, the Pentax Optio S is big on features, durability, easy to use and produces good images. Bought the camera for my wife who was loath to carry even a compact 35mm point and shoot. Both of us enjoy...

Pros: Size makes it easy to have with you always.

Cons: Just OK picture quality - nothing to write home about

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...

Pros: Good photos! Small size!

Cons: Pentax didn't honor the warranty!

Review: Pentax is trying to charge me for an LCD that broke during light useage!!! I was very pleased with this camera. I kept this camera in its case or on the supplied necklace, and it worked fine. However, the first time I kept it in a suit breast pocket...

Pros: Fantastic balance of portability, photo quality, battery life and capacity (with 256 MB SD card)

Cons: Shot to shot time; initially awkward controls

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...

Pros: size, "cool" factor, lcd

Cons: none yet

The Bottom Line: BUY IT unless you have a huge HD that you want to waste space on...then get an Elph.

Review: This camera is perfect for the person who wants to use a digital camera for its perfect use: taking lots of pictures everywhere. I can carry it in my altoids box or in it's soft case, and it's perfect. I can have it around my neck for quick use. It...

Pros: Ultra-compact, stunning picture quality, loaded with features

Cons: small toggle switch easy to activate wrong function

The Bottom Line: If small size and stealth, with a load of features, is what you want, this is it.

Review: Have had the Optio S for 2 weeks, shooting both indoors and outdoors with various settings. Compared this camera with Minolta Dimage Xi. This camera has more features, is smaller and lighter, and about the same price. Picture quality at best...
