Pentax Optio S50 prices and specs
The Optio S50 was released on Aug 16, 2004.
The Optio S50 belongs to the category of point and shoot cameras. Its main advantage is a small size: the photographer can even put it in the pocket. The Pentax Optio S50 is equipped with different automatic modes but you won't make photos of the same high quality in comparison to large sensor compact cameras.
The Optio S50 can shoot images at 5 megapixels max resolution. But if you want to get better picture quality the more important specification is a sensor size. This camera has a 1/2.5' (5.744 x 4.308 mm) sensor which means that the Optio S50 will shoot images with a lower quality than cameras with larger sensors but instead it has another advantage - the Optio S50 has portable size. And if you want to produce images of the best quality pay attention to Sony Alpha a99 II.
The Pentax Optio S50 has max shutter speed of 1/2000 sec. It is an average shutter speed that will be enough for making action images of a satisfactory quality. The Optio S50 can even capture videos but the max resolution is not very high - 320 x 240.
The lens is built into the Optio S50 and you won't be able to switch it. The lens provides weak 3x optical zoom.
