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.

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.

15 Helpfuls 16 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Shockproof, waterproof, compact, takes good-quality pictures.
Cons Shutter delay (as you would expect).
Recommended it? Yes

We wanted to buy our son a camera for his eleventh birthday, and even though he is pretty responsible, he does have two little sisters, so we knew that we had to buy something that he wouldn't be anxious about sharing. We looked at the "kids" cameras, but they weren't cheap, and the reviews said... Read full review »
