Editorial Review:
Pentax Optio S5i Digital Camera - The high quality aluminum alloy body and grip are textured beautifully for a sense of high design. Despite a powerful 3X optical zoom lens, the Optio S5i weighs 3.7 ounces (excluding batteries and SD memory card). In addition to the conventionally available shooting modes, the Optio S5i features a new Sport mode that sets the camera for shutter speed-priority to enable spur of the moment shooting for active subjects. As with other shooting modes, the Sport mode is easy to select on the Mode palette where mode icons on the LCD monitor are displayed simultaneously. The easy to select option helps isolate 10 select modes from an impressive selection of 21 modes. SD memory card compatibility, approx.10MB built-in memory. We advise buying at least 128MB SD card for this camera USB mass storage class compatibility, AV cable connects the OptioS5i to a TV Standard image viewer, ACDSee for PENTAX software Optical viewfinder Built-in auto flash 3x Optical / Digital zoom of up to 4x Super macro mode that allows the user to shoot as close as 6cm from the subject DPOF function, ExifPrint, PRINT Image Matching and PictBridge compatibility Includes Rechargeable Lithium-ion D-LI8 battery (allows approximately 160 shots); AC adaptor kit (optional) Camera Casing - Aluminum alloy Dimensions (W x H x D) - 3.3 x 2.0 x 0.8 Inches

Great small camera I got this when my Kodak Easy Share broke. I wanted something smaller w/ more pixels. When I got the Optio was suprised by how small it actually is, it really would fit in an altoid container (as pictured). Things I like about it are it's speed, the clarity of pictures, and the quality of the camera. The # of features. Things I dislike are the colors are slightly dimmer than my old kodak and the operating menus are difficult to figure out, you definately need to read the manual. Overall I... more info
Great on size, inconsistant performance. This is my 2nd Pentax digital camera, and I have owned it for 2 years. I've always liked the what they have been doing with the sizing of the cameras, keeping the very small. This one is, very small, so it's great for any situation because you can carry it around like a cell phone. Picture quality for the most part, is very good. The problem I have with this camera is the inconsistant performance. Day time shots are great, but low light or evening shots are not the best. There are different modes you... more info
Great digital camera We really like this camera! It's a WHOLE lot better than our previous one, which ran off 4 AA batteries, and ran THROUGH so many AA batteries so quickly that we can't even guess how many $$ that wasted. This Optio camera uses very nice rechargable batteries that cost $5 each through Ebay (don't buy them here on Amazon... ouch!) We've got 3 batteries and are getting two more so that we never even have to worry about power while on a long trip. (The really handy travel charger is also awesome... get it on... more info
very good but no waterproofing this is a great camera for traveling, it is small enough to fit into your top pocket, so it can go anywhere. the only problem that i have is that there is no underwater housing for it, if there was i would have given it a 5*.
