Pentax Optio 555 prices and specs
The Pentax Optio 555 was released on Sep 3, 2003.
The Pentax Optio 555 is a compact camera. Its main advantage is a very small size: the photographer can take it anywhere with himself easily. The camera has various automatic modes but you won't get pictures of the same great quality in comparison to DSLR cameras.
The camera can make images at 5 megapixels max resolution. But for better image quality the more important specification is a sensor size. The Optio 555 has a 1/1.8' (7.144 x 5.358 mm) sensor which means that the Optio 555 will shoot images with a lower quality than cameras with larger sensors but instead it has smaller dimensions and weight. But if you want to capture images of the best quality pay attention to Leica M Monochrom (Typ 246).
The camera has max shutter speed of 1/2000 sec. It is an average shutter speed that is rather good for making action images of a very good quality. The lens is fixed and you can't change it. The lens provides satisfactory 5x optical zoom.
