Slim is still in, and the Optio S6 offers the slimmest PENTAX digital body available. Expect substance and style to blend perfectly in the PENTAX Optio S6. Less

Small frame, decent features

bytksolis Aug 16, 2006
11 Helpfuls 12 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Light, sturdy, feature packed, small, price, ease of use.
Cons AF feature can use some speeding up.
Recommended it? Yes

Pentax makes pretty decent products. This camera is no exception. It has a very small footprint/frame and is quite slim. The LCD screen in the back is quite large for a unit like this and is appreciated tremendously. Oh, and on sunny days, it still works and doesn't wash out like other units.

10 Helpfuls 11 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros On camera editing, size, and value
Cons Lag time, lithium ion battery
Recommended it? No

The camera is compact and very well designed. It is about the size of a deck of cards. It is 6.3 mega-pixel which is more than enough for everyday point and shoot. The LCD screen is 2.5 inches. Uses SD memory card.

The camera is equipped with many modes in which to take photos such as... Read full review »

30D vs. 20D? Are the differences worth another purchase?

bysuemccartin Jul 1, 2007
15 Helpfuls 16 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Canon Digic II sensor, 5 fps mode, iso 3200, improved white logic
Cons Pricey? Not a huge upgrade over a 20D
Recommended it? Yes

My first canon dslr was the original Rebel also known as the 300D, for its time and considering what that camera cost, it was competent but it can't hold a candle to a 20D and even less so to a 30D. I shoot a lot of karate for my school, the 300D Rebel only has 3 fps which just isn't enough for... Read full review »

Impressions on the CANON EOS 30D : finally mature, but still expensive

17 Helpfuls 18 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Many features and very low noise, APS-sized CMOS gives best result with reasonable priced...
Cons viewfinder a bit dark, 8 million pixels and APS-sized cmos is insufficient for...
Recommended it? Yes

Having used a 300D and a 10D, i hesitated a lot before getting hands on this camera.
I got it with a Canon f4.0-f5.6/17-85 EF-S IS zoom, found it in Sim Lim square in Singapore.
Improvements are not so important: the good things of the 20D are still there: very good image quality with its... Read full review »
