Pentax Optio S prices and specs
The Pentax Optio S was produced on Jan 9, 2003. For now the cheapest price for the camera is 99.99
The Pentax Optio S is a point and shoot camera. Its main advantage is a very small size: the photographer can even put it in the pocket. The camera is equipped with various automatic modes but you won't take photos of the same high quality in comparison to DSLR cameras.
The Pentax Optio S can make pictures at 3 megapixels max resolution. But if you want to get better image quality the more important specification is a sensor size. The Optio S has a 1/2.5' (5.744 x 4.308 mm) sensor which means that the camera will make pictures with not so high quality as cameras with bigger sensors but instead it has another advantage - the Optio S has portable size. But if you want to produce pictures of the professional quality pay attention to Leica SL (Typ 601).
The camera has max shutter speed of 1/2000 sec. It is an average shutter speed which will be enough for shooting action pictures of a very good quality. The lens is fixed and the camera owner won't be able to change it. The lens provides weak 3x optical zoom.
