Pentax Optio 550 prices and specs
The Optio 550 was produced on Feb 18, 2003.
The Optio 550 belongs to the category of point and shoot cameras. Its main benefit is a very small size: the photographer can take it anywhere with himself easily. The Pentax Optio 550 is equipped with different automatic modes but you won't make pictures of the same perfect quality in comparison to large sensor compact cameras.
The Pentax Optio 550 can take photos at 5 megapixels highest resolution. But for better image quality the more important specification is a sensor size. This camera has a 1/1.8' (7.144 x 5.358 mm) sensor which means that the Optio 550 will shoot photos with not so high quality as cameras with larger sensors but instead it has another advantage - the Optio 550 has small dimensions and weight. And if you want to produce photos of the best quality pay attention to Sony Alpha 7R II.
The Pentax Optio 550 has max shutter speed of 1/4000 sec. It is an average shutter speed that is rather good for shooting action photos of a very good quality. The lens is fixed and the photographer can't change it. The lens provides good 5x optical zoom.
