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

Pros Light, sturdy, feature packed, small, price, ease of use.
Cons AF feature can use some speeding up.
