The PENTAX Optio S series is all grown up with 6.0 megapixels and a gorgeous chassis, but it never outgrew the mint tin. The new PENTAX Optio S6 slides right in. This latest tiny digital features a generous 2.5 inch monitor, 6.0 megapixels, and a powerful 3X zoom sliding lens system. 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

Canon has added another fabulous camera to its EOS range: the 450D! This digital camera, recently commended at the TIPA awards for its high performances, user-friendliness and ease of use, is packed full of technologies and special features. Its magnificent 12.2-megapixel CMOS sensor takes lifelike shots at rates of 3.5 frames per second, and its large focusing range picks out details from a distance. The EOS 450D includes a self-cleaning system, which uses three different techniques to dislodge dust from the sensor, and it has a DIGIC III processor to guarantee well-balanced, vivid colours in all your shots. The EOS 450D is easy to handle and use thanks to its 3? LCD screen, which is great for direct shooting, and it comes complete with an 18-55 mm f/3.5-5.6 IS lens. Less

Small frame, decent features

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.

Cons There’s a bit of a learning curve

I’ve always loved computers and taking pictures, making my love for digital photography a natural progression. My first digital camera was a 2 megapixel, alkaline battery-operated Kodak with no zoom. Luckily, technologies have advanced, and I’ve had a lot of point-and-shoot cameras that have... Read full review »

I had a 35mm Canon Rebel X camera before I bought this camera about 2 years ago.  Canon has a long history of making quality products.  This is one of them.  This is a great camera.  This camera made it easy transition to digital. The body of the camera is not too heavy. ... Read full review »
