Pentax Optio S55 prices and specs
The Pentax Optio S55 was released on May 11, 2005.
The Pentax Optio S55 is a point and shoot camera. Its main benefit is a small size: the photographer can even put it in the pocket. The camera is equipped with different automatic modes but you won't get photographs of the same great quality in comparison to DSLR cameras.
The Pentax Optio S55 can make images at 5 megapixels max resolution. But for better photo quality the more important specification is a sensor size. This model has a 1/2.5' (5.744 x 4.308 mm) sensor which means that the model will produce images with not so high quality as cameras with larger sensors but instead it has another advantage - the Optio S55 has small dimensions and weight. And if you want to shoot images of the best quality pay attention to Nikon D4S.
The camera has max shutter speed of 1/2000 sec. It is an average shutter speed which will be enough for shooting action images of a satisfactory quality. The Pentax Optio S55 can even shoot videos but the max resolution is not very high - 320 x 240.
The lens is fixed and the photographer can't switch it. The lens has low 3x optical zoom.
